delivery of the guidance curriculum because they are responses to issues
and problems rather than planned programs. The guidance curriculum is
usually delivered in a classroom setting, so confidentiality is not possible.
Delivery of the guidance curriculum usually does not involve frequent
testing.

C

solving skills. These activities need to be arranged into teams, not individual
competitors, to promote teamwork.

The best way to address this problem is to counsel the students who are
causing it. At this point, counseling rather than discipline would be a more
appropriate response. Just observing the class does not seem necessary
since Ms. Parker has already described the problem. Arranging for the
student with disabilities to be transferred to another class would be
avoiding the problem, not addressing it, and it would not help the students
who are causing the problem understand what is wrong with their behavior.
