Outbursts and Behavior Plans
Mrs. Bradley has a student with an IEP for behavior. The students behaviors can be so severe that it impairs the student's academic performance. When the student is upset, the plan calls for time to calm down and relocation until mood has changed. Whenever the student is asked to complete a task the student does not like, the students claims to be upset and leaves the room. Other students are taking notice, and have mentioned special treatment is shown the other student. Without infringing on the student's right to privacy, what should Mrs. Bradley say to other students when this occurs?

I think it's important that the student receives their breaks when necessary, but the student still needs to complete their work. Maybe the student could take a break in another room and take the assignment with them. If the student simply allows the student to leave and complete nothing, the other students will of course take notice. If students are asking why one student gets to leave, I would say that that student needs a break so that he/she can be successful.

It is extremely important a child takes a break when they need to, otherwise they will not do anything productive.

I think that the teacher could have had an activity at the beginning of the year to help students to explore what they do in certain situations how they react, what they need do when frustrated, what calms them down etc. Explain to them that different people react to things in different ways and we need to be accepting and considerate of others especially in the classroom, where some may exhibit different behaviors. This can still be implemented after the fact in this case.

I would explain to the class that equal treatment may not always seem fair. Everyone is different in their own way and they need matters adjusted for them accordingly. The teacher has a responsibility to make sure students are successful and understanding differences is a part of that.

I would encourage the teacher to talk with the students about how everyone is different and everyone has different methods for achieving success. I would also encourage the teacher to talk about some of the different ways he or she supports the other students in the class, so they recognize that they have received differentiated instruction to help them be successful.

There's not much to say about the situation. Maybe if the teacher told her students that that specific student needs her special attention, they would understand.
