Detention at Recess

Do your schools use detention at recess for students who are having trouble sitting still in class?  It may be time to take a look at some alternatives that allow these students to burn off some energy or to step back from whatever conflict or frustration they are locked into with the teacher or fellow students to regroup or regulate themselves. 

Many times, classroom teachers fall back on detention when the IEP team has not give the teacher guidance about what methods of redirecting or disengaging work with a particular student and allow the teacher to teach all the students in class.

When you are assessing, modifying or designing an IEP, keep in mind what the classroom teacher needs to know about this student in order for both of them to successfully work together to provide FAPE.
