One of her students is causing havoc for the entire class. He is constantly disrupting the class and causing problems. This is a continuation from the previous year. A paraprofessional has been assigned to Ms. Williams for the majority of the day to help assist with this student. He is still causing havoc. The assistant principal and principal have met with the mom as well as aunts, grandmother, and father. There is really no support from the home. The sad part of this all is that this student could be a very good student academically if he didn't have the disciple issues. The teacher is frustrated as well as the other students. Please help! Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The teacher can conduct an interest survey with the student. Does the child like to draw? Computer time? What motivates the child? The teacher can build a relationship with the student and explain that his behavior is disruptive. The parapro can work with the student and provide verbal encouragement when he is behaving. The student can add sand to a jar and work towards a goal.
