Faded Presentation
Transcript: Faded, Out-of Esteem, At -Risk Students By: Angela Patterson Difficult Matt Matt is orange. Matt is a funny, charming, confident and quick-witted freshman boy. He likes to be the center of atttention, whether he gets negative or positive reinforcement from it. Matt likes to joke and purposely say incorrect answers outloud for the class to get a chuckle. Matt is very smart and practical, but he likes to take on the role of a performer. Out-of-Esteem Faded Matt When Matt's color is fading and he is acting out-of-esteem, he stops participating in class and does not complete his homework. He becomes argumentative with both the teacher and his peers. He acts out on purpose to receive detentions. He is unorganized with his materials for class. Interventions for Matt Help Give Matt the attention he needs through positive reinforcement Allow Matt to vent about anything that might be upsetting to him Give Matt some freedom in breaking/bending the rules, but provide clear consequences Pull Matt outside of the classroom to prevent any further confrontation Easy Austin is green. He is easygoing and loves to manipulate numbers and enjoys finding patterns and creating rules. He is logical and extremely analytical. He always thinks abstractly and is persistent when he is solving a complicated math problem. Austin Out-of-Esteem Faded Austin When Austin is out-of-esteem, he is withdrawn, aloof, refuses to participate in class, and becomes critical of himself and his peers. He has an anxious look about him and becomes upset about his performance on a test or quiz. Interventions Help Allow Austin independent time to manipulate mathematical concepts without madating he focus along with the rest of the class. Allow Austin to challenge ideas that are presented and defend his reasonsing for it Re-inforce the big picture of a concept to help Austin get past the small ideas that are difficult for him Quiet Leah is gold. She is organzied, color codes her notes, creates separate study guides from the ones given in class, and is depandable. Many of Leah's peers confer with her when they need some extra help. She is detail-oriented and is always on time to class. Leah Out-of-Esteem Faded Leah When Leah is out-of-esteem, she becomes overly critical of her work. Shes withdraws and is not helpful with her peers. She is anxious and worries about her grades. Leah is the exact opposite of her happy self and becomes moody. Interventions Help Consult with Leah's parents so they can address her anxiety at home and help provide tips for at school Talk to Leah privately about what might be bothering her and offer concrete suggestions. Provide Leah with step-by-step directions for a project so she does not feel overwhelmed. Give Leah specific ideas that she could use to improve her understanding of a topic Conclusions Final Thoughts After identifying some of my students by their colors and discussing interventions, I find that I need to start the next school year off by having my students take the color test. In doing so, I would be able to use many of the prevention strategies for fading colors instead of using more of the interventions.
