FAILURE TO ASK FOR HELP 
What can you do about a pupil who fails to ask for help with matters he/she 
does not fully understand in the curriculum or in the classroom in general?


If the pupil does not feel comfortable asking questions in the classroom 
setting, have him/her write the questions on a piece of paper or a 3 x 5 
card. Then, when time permits, meet with the child individually to review 
the questions, or provide general answers to the class if you think others 
may have the same questions. 
HYPERACTIVITY – SHIFT IN ATTENTION 
What can be done for pupils who frequently shift their attention and/or interests 
in class? 

Provide your pupils with firm but fair classrooms rules. Make sure you 
consistently adhere to the consequences of breaking rules. 

Use social reinforcers frequently and as soon as possible (e.g. physical 
nearness or contact, a smile or frown, etc.) 

Prepare a variety of short lessons to maximize pupil attention and 
participation (e.g., manipulation exercises of 15 to 20 minutes in 
duration). 

Regularly incorporate “relaxation” techniques into the daily classroom 
routine. Use them whenever the pupil is need of them. 

Use a timer to keep track of appropriate behavior and expectations.
