The teacher that I am with has a hard time managing the behaviors of the lower level students. She has left me in the room at one point and one of the students threw his backpack at the fan that is in the room. I told her about the incident when she got back to the room, the student even came up and told her because he was proud of himself. She just told him to take his seat, was there something else to be done? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) No matter the level of students or their disabilities rules and expectations must be clear and consistent with consequences and rewards for students who obey or disobey. Behaviors should not be ignored especially those that are physical and reoccurring. The teacher may want to talk with the student one on one and ask them why they are proud of what they did and help them to understand that it is unacceptable behavior for school and offer a warning or consequence and stick to what she said or she will constantly be tried and run over by students. Confidence and consistency are the keys to classroom management with support of relevant and appropriate expectations, consequences, and rewards.
