I have chosen an individual child who is distracting the rest of the students and creating daily issues in our class.  He swears at me in Spanish, is disrespectful to adults, calls other children names, and physically hits/touches them when they are in his space.  I feel he is getting a lot of negative attention from the teachers and other children are starting to pick up on it.  They too want my attention and will do some of the same behaviors to get it.  I'm hoping to get his behavior in check to help the other students get back on track, but even more so I want to help this specific child with some strategies on what to do when he is angry. 

My intervention is called Bullies:  Turning Around Negative Behaviors.  My plan is to ensure the class understands the definition of bullying, confront students engaged in bullying in a firm but fair manner, provide appropriate and consistent consequences for bullying, and develop a reward chart for the student who bullies.  The child will put a sticker on their schedule for each block of time that I do not have any reports from other teachers or from students.  The chart will be saved in a folder that will go home and back each day to communicate with mom.  The student will be verbally praised for each sticker they earn and rewarded with a prize when their chart is half full of stickers.
