Week 11: Inquiry Doubts

            As I have worked further into my inquiry I am beginning to have some doubts. I know an inquiry does not always have to have an answer or solution, but I sometimes feel like they need to.

            This week I started my individualized behavior management plan. I started by pulling my inquiry student aside and explaining to her how it would work. I told her we were going to do something special just for her. How it would work was if she was off-task I would place an orange sticker on a small book on her desk. This would help from disrupting the entire class to fix her behavior. If she saw an orange sticker, she would know she was not making good choices and needed to change. If she was on task and doing all that she was supposed to, she would receive a green sticker. If she got 3 of either, she could move her clip up or down, accordingly.

            After explaining it to her. And receiving her first green, she seemed really excited about this special thing for her. This was all until and orange sticker was placed on her paper, followed by another. This only caused her to pout more. This is where my doubt comes in. I know I need to keep trying to see if it will eventually start working and that was maybe just the first orange that got her so upset. I am interested to see if her behavior will be affected at all by this plan, or if she may need something different to help her.
