2Fred Jones Concept Cases
3Case 1 Kristina Will Not Work!
- Kristina, a student in Mr. Jakes class, is quite
docile. She socializes little with other students
and never disrupts the class. However, Mr. Jake
cannot get Kristina to do any work. She rarely
completes an assignment. She is simply there,
putting forth almost no effort at all. How would
Jones deal with Kristina?
4WWJD What Would Jones Do?
- 1. Make frequent eye contact with her. Even when
she looks down, Mr. Jake should make sure to look
directly at her. She will be aware of it, and
that may be enough to encourage her to being
work. - 2. Move close to Kristina. Stand beside her
while presenting the lesson. - 3. Give Kristina frequent help during seat work.
Check on her progress several times during the
lesson. Give specific suggestions and then
quickly move on. - 4. Increase the amount of Say, See, Do teaching
with Kristina so she has less information to deal
with and is called on to respond frequently. - 5. Set up a personal incentive system with
Kristina, such as doing a certain amount of work
to earn an activity she especially enjoys. - 6. Set up a system in which Kristina can earn
rewards for the entire class. This brings her
peer attention and support.
5Case 2 Sara Cannot Stop Talking
- Sara is a pleasant girl who participates in class
activities and does most, though not all, of her
assigned work. She cannot seem to refrain from
talking to classmates, however. Her teacher, Mr.
Gonzales, has to speak to her repeatedly during
lessons, to the point that he often becomes
exasperated and loses his temper. What
suggestions would Jones give Mr. Gonzales for
dealing with Sara?
6WWJD What Would Jones Do?
- Instead of repeatedly stopping the lesson to
speak to Sara, Mr. Gonzales should make eye
contact with Sara. Eye contact creates control
which might encourage Sara to do her work. - Stand close to Kristina. Close physical proximity
may stop Sara from talking to her classmates and
work. - Increase the amount of Say, See, Do teaching. An
increased amount of this approach would allow her
to actively participate and work so she has less
time to talk to her classmates. - Set up a personal incentive system based around
her getting all her work done and not talking
excessively to her classmates. She might be more
willing to do so if she can earn an activity she
enjoys. - Set up an incentive system in which Sara can earn
PAT for her entire class. She will encourage peer
support, so her classmates refrain from talking
to her, as well.
7Case 3 Joshua Clowns and Intimidates
Joshua, larger and louder than his classmates,
always wants to be the center of attention,
which he accomplishes through a combination of
clowning and intimidation. He makes wise remarks,
talks back (smilingly) to the teacher, utters a
variety of sound-effect noises such as automobile
crashes and gunshots, and makes limitless
sarcastic comments and put-downs of his
classmates. Other students will not stand up to
him, apparently fearing his size and verbal
aggression. His teacher, Miss Pearl, has come to
her wits end. What specifically do you find in
Joness suggestions that would help Miss Pearl
with Joshua?
8WWJD What Would Jones Do?
- Make frequent eye contact with Joshua, and use
close physical proximity to remind him when he is
misbehaving. - Room arrangement minimize the physical distance
between teacher and students seat. - Assign Joshua a classroom chore. Since he likes
the attention, this can help him develop a sense
of responsibility along with it. - Increase the amount of Say, See, Do teaching.
Having him actively working and participating may
help him focus on his work. - Set up a personal incentive system. Allow him to
earn PAT for himself and the entire class by
ceasing to misbehave in a particular way. - As a last resort a small backup response said
privately to let him know you are serious, but
protecting his dignity.
9Case 4 Tom is Hostile and Defiant
- Tom has appeared to be in his usual foul mood
ever since arriving in class. On his way to
sharpen his pencil, he bumps into frank, who
complains. Tom tells him loudly to shut up. Miss
Baines, the teacher, says, Tom go back to your
seat. Tom wheels around, swears loudly, and says
heatedly, Ill go when Im damned good and
ready! How effective do you believe Joness
suggestions would be in dealing with Tom?
10WWJD What Would Jones Do?
- Since this is intolerable behavior, Jones would
suggest involving at least two professionals,
usually the teacher and an administrator to deal
with Tom. This can include trips to the office,
in or out of school suspension, and a special
class. - The teacher should maintain good body carriage
and remember proper breathing before talking to
the student to convey authority. - Use frequent eye contact and close physical
proximity to remind Tom of the class rules he
helped form in the beginning.
