A paraprofessional notices two students about to fight in the hallway. The FIRST action should be to:
Answer: Alert a teacher or administrator while verbally de-escalating the situation
Paraprofessionals should alert certified staff and attempt verbal de-escalation, as physical intervention can be unsafe and may exceed their role.
Which of the following is an example of a natural consequence?
Answer: A student who forgets their lunch goes hungry unless a teacher intervenes
A natural consequence is a direct result of the behavior itself without adult intervention, such as being hungry because no lunch was brought.
A student diagnosed with ADHD consistently has difficulty remaining seated. The most appropriate accommodation would be to:
Answer: Provide scheduled movement breaks or allow use of a flexible seating option
Movement breaks and flexible seating address the neurological need for movement in students with ADHD without restricting their learning.
Which of the following best describes 'proximity control' as a classroom management technique?
Answer: Moving physically closer to a student who is beginning to misbehave
Proximity control involves moving near a student to non-verbally signal awareness and deter misbehavior without interrupting instruction.
When documenting a student's challenging behavior for a behavior intervention plan (BIP), which information is MOST important to record?
