\n\"\"Proximity interference is when the teacher moves closer to a student who is beginning to get off-task. This tool can be helpful because they are not disruptive to the rest of the class.<\/p>\n

Proximity interference is when the teacher during instruction gets near to their students that are getting off task or misbehaving. The teacher can use proximity at any grade level. When a student is beginning to get off-task and the student does not notice your eye contact right away, proximity is the next response. Moving near the misbehaving student is a tool that will help when you cannot get the students attention because people usually notice movement. Proximity interference doesn\u2019t disrupt the lesson or remove the attention from the class. It works well because they are private, personal, and they are seen by one or two students whom it is attended to. This tool can also be useful for when the students are in groups or in seat work to ensure that they are on task and not disrupting others.<\/p>\n

\"\"Proximity interference relates to the corrective phase because this strategy helps correct the student\u2019s behavior. Moving closer to the students keeps the teacher from having to call out students verbally. The reason for this is because usually just moving close the students will correct the student\u2019s behavior. Proximity can relate to the preventative phase because this tool can be used to prevent disruptive behavior. Although, it best fits with corrective because it is used after the fact, meaning that the student has already began to get off task. Proximity interference best relates to student directed and collaborative because it is moving close to the student that allows the student to self-correct their behavior, improve their focus, and to engage on a task.<\/p>\n
