8/8/17 General Reflections

This has been a hard week. We have had some major behaviour issues which is taking away from our ability to teach. Most of the students are working well and are continuing to make good progress however, some of our students' behaviour is escalating. Logan has improved somewhat with completing most tasks and sitting on the mat. He is learning the routines and is able to stay focused for increasing periods of time. He is still hard work and takes a lot of teacher time for prompting, reminding and redirecting. Harleigh has had a better week this week after a Time-out last week for tantrumming. Riley U has had two Time-Outs in two days due to his tantrums of swearing, throwing and hitting. Tayla-Rose is my biggest concern at the moment. Her behaviour has been defiance and disruption. Running around screaming, climbing on stacks of chairs, refusing to do her work, playing with toys at inappropriate times and refusing to do work. We can't really pinpoint why her behaviour has escalated so much. We think it's possibly due to competition for adult attention with some of the other behaviour students.
