I have a co-teacher specifically for this student. This student claims to have issues with a few other students in class, however, I have never witnessed these students bullying her. Just the other day, she told me to tell them to stop staring at her. I calmly told her that if I were to do that, it would just bring more attention to her, and possibly cause more staring. I have talked to the co-teacher about this, and she just says she will keep an eye on her. She knows more about her disorder than I do. I'm not sure what else to do, especially since the students she claims are bullying her have never done so in my presence. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Look into her permanent file, perhaps there will be some information that will be helpful in knowing what has caused this disorder, and how long the student has had it. Also going to past teachers and asking them what they did is helpful. Having an adult keeping tabs on her at all times is helpful as well, she may need a bathroom/library attendant to ensure that no one is bothering her. After about a week this student will most likely get tired of the attendant and ask to be on her own. Just keeps tabs in this behavior, it could be attention seeking.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think this was a great solution to the problem. It is important to understand the problem that the student is having prior to developing a solution.

While I would make sure to give the student's claims consideration I would also discuss what is occurring with her with the co-teacher because they know her better. But asking other teachers who have had this student allows you to get ideas that you may not have thought of to help her. However, making sure you have checked her file is important because that may shed some light on her past with this disorder.

Even though you are not seeing the bullying first hand, does not mean it is not happening. You should never take these situations lightly.

That was my first thought when she complained about the staring. Rated On: October 15, 2017 12:46 am Rated By: eHuPas
