Case: Purposefully Being Disobedient In a class I was an intern for, there was a young boy who would purposefully not follow directions given. For example, when told to create a poem with a drawing, the student wrote a poem and turned it in with no drawing. The teacher asked the boy to create a drawing, and about one minute later, the boy came back with pencil scribbles all over the paper. Mind you, this student has plenty of his artwork on the wall (along with his other classmates) and seemed to be in a hurry throughout this behavior. The teacher let him know the drawing must be done with the supplied crayons and must represent his poem. Finally, he turned in a beautiful assignment. What do you think could be causing this behavior and why? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I had a student like this and one thing that I found helpful was giving them a bit of extra attention BEFORE the negative behavior can start. When they start the assignment, ask them what they're creating, what they're thinking, etc. If you say you're going to check back up on the work, do it! Stay in touch with them and make sure they know you're interested. Someones just that little bit of extra expectation and attention helps them focus. Good luck! |
