One way that this strategy could be used during a reading lesson would be to calm down any student who is disrupting the class as well as the learning taking place with her talking. If s/he was directed to use the ARB strategy, there would be a greater likelihood that the student would return to participate in the lesson much calmer.
Example 3
This strategy could be used during a science lesson as well if the student is refusing to work and participate. The student would be directed to go get his/her set of active response beads and use them appropriately to help them become ready to rejoin the group.
|
This strategy could also be used during a math lesson when a student shuts down. The teacher would then direct the student to put his/her head down on their desk before using the beads. This would aid the student in quickly being able to rejoin the learning.
Example 4
Finally, this strategy could also be used during a writing lesson. Many students struggle to not only write, but to also hold a pencil that long. When they begin to get tired and frustrated, having them use the beads to calm down with and take a short rest, will make them more willing to keep on trying.

This short video describes how to use Active Response Beads as well as lists some of the behaviors that a student may display that this strategy would help with. It also states the supplies needed to make a set of Active Response Beads as well as demonstrates how to make one. Finally, this video also does an exceptional job of listing and describing the steps of this intervention.

This is a picture of the desk dots that may be used instead of the Active Response Beads. Since it stays right on the desk, it is a constant reminder for the students who struggle to not show non-compliant or disrupting behavior.
