  Case: Student with Emotional Issues
I have a student in one of my classes who has an emotional behavior disorder. 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!)
You have to remember that this is an EBD student. Learning about her as an individual, her triggers, and her disorder will help you better understand why this is happening in your classroom. Whether you are seeing the things happen that seem to trigger her or not, you need to give her claims substance. Let her talk about what is going on, whether with you or the school counselor.
