student who gets upset at any criticism
I was shadowing in an elementary classroom and there was a student who anytime he was corrected for something would start crying. The classroom had two teachers and they are fantastic. These women were extremely nice and caring to their students. So I know it was not how they were saying it. One teacher informed me that it does not matter who says something to him this is how he reacts. She told me she would take him out of the class and they would go for walks so he could calm down and not be embarrassed by crying in the classroom. When they would get back in the class the teacher would sit privately with the student so he could complete the work. I am aware of his underlying issue. But I was wondering what other ways can the teachers try and fix this problem that does not involve removing the student from the classroom? I know they do it with best intentions but then the student misses out on educational time. Are there other ways to correct him that would not cause him to cry? The teachers are not yelling. They say things like "I am not a fan of your behavior right now" or "that is not the right way to do that but here let me show you how". They are taking the appropriate steps but I feel like it is the child who does not respond well to any type of criticism. Any advice? |

The teachers need to stop taking him out of the class. This is doing nothing but encouraging the behavior. They can easily incorporate in classroom ideas to help or support this student. Obliviously his behavior needs to be corrected because if they do not correct it then he will continue to do it. However. if he has a melt down they could add a calm down corner or chair in the class. This is a safe place where any student can go if they feel upset, sad or just need a moment to themselves. They can add a basket with books, stuffed animals, and sensory items. I would have clip art pictures of emotions on the wall, and have a What I Could Do? Wheel hanging on a hook by the pictures. This wheel lists ideas that student could do when they feel mad, sad, etc. I would also add a timer and make it a rule that they cannot be back there longer than 10 minutes. This will help them feel like they are in control over the situation and allows them to be in the classroom so, they do not miss any instruction time. |

I feel like the teachers are encouraging this behavior by taking him outside of the classroom, because by them doing this he knows that if he cry he gets taken out of the class. I think that the teachers should address the whole class about how to take constructive criticism and that to grow and learn we might need to know about what mistakes we made. If this happens again I would encourage the teachers to no take the student out of the class, like you said he is missing critical class time what he gets taken out. If the crying becomes distracting to the class I would remove him from where he is siting and try to move him to where he inst distracting class time. |

I like this solution because it discourages going out of class and having the child miss out of instruction time. |

I agree with this approach because the child would not miss out on as much instructional time. |

The interesting way these teachers handled this matter. I think singling a student out of the class then bringing them back in and doing one on one work may help the problem continue going. Some students need to learn about criticism, perhaps do a lesson on criticism, make sure the student knows that everyone in life has to be corrected, that it is not something to cry about. You will be okay just do a bit better next time to make sure you don't make the same mistake. I think crying is stems from the problem that the student may not know how to handle these said criticisms. |

I have had a CT that had a calm down corner with fidgets toys in it in the classroom for students to go into if they felt that they were getting overwhelemed. Students would go into it for at least 5 minutes and then will rejoin when ready. This way the student does not miss instruction time. |

I think that the teachers need to stop taking him outside when he does this. He might be using this as a method to get out of class. |

I would avoid critiquing the student during class. Whenever there is an assignment, use written instruction or one on one private meetings. If the student is crying quietly and not causing a disturbance, then let the student cry in the classroom and don’t draw attention to it. If it is disruptive and you’ve done everything to make it private it is time to have another meeting with parents.
I hope this helps. |
