In order to keep it professional, you want to make sure it is actually happening and not just an over exaggeration on the students' part.

Otherwise, giving them negative attention is still attention and could be what the student wants.

It takes a village!

Behavioral issues usually are not just towards one teacher.   Posted on: October 31, 2021 8:40 pm Add a Comment                 Solution 4 Posted March 31, 2022 8:53 pm ZeVySu Reps: 102 The teacher should have a talk with the student if the behavior continues that dismisses the class from the lesson at hand.

If you end up witnessing this I would also suggest ignoring the behavior. Reacting to such behavior will only halt the instruction you are giving to the rest of the students, once the student shows signs of returning to their normal functioning, you can praise them for returning to the task at hand. I’ve seen this done plenty of times in placement facilities.

If you do, I would contact the counselor, as well as contact the student's parents.

I will communicate to the student that this is disrespectful, and I will not allow this type of behavior to continue. The student will need to be informed of the consequences if this behavior continues.

This isn't a major problem, however, it is a behavior that needs to be corrected.

There could be a chance that the other students were exaggerating the student's behavior or the student could be going through something difficult in their life. It is important to approach this behavior in a non-threatening way so the student feels safe enough to be honest. If the student is using the mocking behaviors, I would discuss with them why it is not appropriate to act this way towards anyone, no matter how much they upset you.

Once you do, pull her aside as soon as it happens and explain to her why its disrespectful. Give her a concrete consequence for if it happens again.
