  Case: Aggressive Behavior
In a class I was an intern for, a student would get random bursts of anger in which he would flip his desk, storm out of the room, or throw books. This behavior was posing a threat to other students, so the teacher isolated the student's desk permanently and sent the student to the counselor. Time and time again, the behavior persisted. Personally, I think the child has some sort of anger management issues, but there is nothing the educator can do solely. What would be the next appropriate action?

It needs to be noted of when these outbursts occur to see if there is a pattern. It could indicate a learning disability like a previous comment stated but could also reflect at home issues and poor coping mechanisms. If you know the students parents are divorced with shared custody, know their schedule and see if it occurs on a switching day or close to. Coping mechanisms are not always taught, giving the student an area they can go to to express themselves may also help. Allowing them to take breaks and to communicate that they feel on edge before exploding can also be helpful. Limited attention during outburst is also a good thing, take the proper safety precautions and discipline the child but do not bring extra attention to the behavior. Contact the parents and ask for their cooperation and involvement, having their number to quickly dial during an incident can help calm the child down.
