  Case: Behavior Management Plan
I have a student in my internship who currently has a FBA and goals regarding talking back, staying off task, and explicit language. As part of the internship I have to create a classroom management plan and was set to work with this student. I began the activity on a day the student was on task and ready to work. However since that day his behavior has become not only worse but he has begun threatening violence. I feel like my original plan of having the student self monitor his progress and align it with teacher monitoring is no longer work as the student will take the correction as an attack. I have been warned that this student is prone to lashing out unannounced and when have brought up my concerns have been informed that his behavior has been 75% better than in years prior and do not want to have him regress. Does anyone know of any ideas how to work with this student on his behavior in a different way?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It sounds like you have been working hard and have a plan in place and it is important to remember that sometimes things get worse before they get better. The teacher I am interning with said about a student in her class that sounds similar that "He seems worse now because he is finally realizing he has rules that he must follow and that we are holding him to it, he will tire of his routine of acting out and then we will see him start to get better." I would continue what you are doing, and try to continue focusing on the positive things this student does as well as trying to form a bond with this student. Ask how their weekend was or sit at lunch and talk about things other than school.
