We had a review before half term and agreed targets, they seemed fine
- Putting up hand when have something to say, waiting turn and not shouting out - is now fine for assembly but not for carpet time in class
- Starting a task when asked to do it, straight away first time, examples given like tidy up time, going and lining up - system in place to give him 5min/1min warning that that will happen
- Listening to others in group time, started off being guided reading and now extended to other group activities
At parents evening last week we were told he had a reward chart for when he managed to do something on his IEP - smiley faces - he can get up to 10 a day and then gets a sticker/house point/free activity (to be honest with ds it doesn't matter what the reward actually is for him its the idea he achieved it)
Because I now know about the smiley faces I've been asking ds about them, on Monday he said he got 2 and was chuffed, Tuesday he got 3, although couldn't remember what exactly for, yesterday none although thought he should have got some because he was asked to do some writting and he did it straight away and then he did some good listening at carpet time and then forgot so told me he should had got one for the beginning.
Last night my mum was round and asked him about School, he said that he has a new smiley chart, my mum asked him what he has to do to get smileys and he said he didn't really know and it was confusing.
Obviously I need to feed this back to his teacher as the system is the right one, but is it the reward chart or the targets? I'm thinking they aren't specific enough - I'm at work at the moment so don't have the exact wording of his IEP with me but it did make sense at the time, we explained it all too him and talked about what things like good sitting looked and felt like and practised, talked about why we would do that but this is obviously lost somewhere at school... floundering a bit
any advice?
