Case Study Johnny is very chit chatty and one day was bothering his neighbors as they were quietly working. The teacher walked over to the student who was quietly doing his work and said “Tommy you are working very quietly and getting your work done, you are on track to be going outside to recess.” The other student continued being chatty and the teacher walked over to the Johnny quietly moved him to a workable, quiet spot and talked to him about his actions.
