This week in class we discussed the Time-Out Intervention
and its many forms. One that I found most interesting and useful was the inclusion
time-out intervention. In this one the student is removed from the general
learning and teaching area and can be seated in the back of the room. The
student is still able to see and hear what is going on in the classroom but is
not allowed to participate in any way for a period of time. The hope is the
student will learn the correct way to interact in class by watching their
classmates. Research mentioned by Ryan, Sanders, Katsiyannis, and Yell (2007) stated
that the inclusion intervention was just as effective if not more than the
other interventions. My current school does something similar, but I hope to
help implement a more homogeneous policy throughout the grades.
