  Case: Upsetting Classmates
I have a student that is a behavior problem. I am working with him, his parents, and administration to keep him on track. However, he has recently taken up taking other students things, touching their bookbags/books, and sometimes even flicking them on the ear. I have tried to stop this behavior with school wide discipline procedures, but it is not working. I have recently had a parent request that their student be removed from my class because of the other student. She made it clear to my administration that it wasn't because of me, but that the other student disrupts her student's learning. I am sad about the student being moved, I really enjoy him. How can I stop the disruptive student from bothering my other students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it is important to focus on the positives in the classroom. Reward the student for making good choices and keeping hands to himself. Set up a chart or reward system using a currency that he is responsive to. For example, using an iPad for five minutes or sitting in a special seat in the classroom. See what works and what he responds well to. It is not about what is fair and equal in the classroom as the student has different needs. Keep focusing on the positives and if the student is touching others then the this should be documented and handled based on school policy.
