  Case: Student Makes a Scene Anytime He is Asked to do Work or Fix Behavior
I have a student in my internship who I never quite know how to handle. He is a very active student, and is always talking or moving about the room. When he is blatantly being disrespectful (i.e. purposefully bothering another student who is asking him to stop) and me or the teacher asks him to return to his desk or leave the student alone, he will scream out about how he "wasn't even doing anything" or just make loud, upset noises and then make a scene. If he is off task and I or the teacher asks him to get back on task, he will shut down, make a comment, or walk out of the room. The words we are using are soft, and never accusatory. How should I get this kid back on task without him shutting down or making a scene??
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This seems like a student who does not want to just stop doing what he is doing and move in. I think this is a great opportunity to use restorative practices. Pulling him aside, especially since you are a second body in the room, and taking the time to explore his feelings. This will give you some insight to why he is doing what he is doing. Also, reminding him what the expectations in the classroom are. It is important to be specific what the expectations are because they truly might not know what it is to be respectful, as an example. If this were the case, I would go on explaining that respecting your peers means, not invading their personal space, not teasing or causing them to become upset and allowing them to focus and learn so that they can succeed. These are examples I would suggest.

Comments: Whenever students misbehave I always ask them if anything is wrong rather than directly react to their behavior. My of the time students calm down when I ask them that and seem to like me more. It can be difficult handling students who misbehave and do not want to be reasoned with. I face this a lot.

Comments: I like that you said, "they truly might not know what it is to be respectful". Not all students have the same experiences, and do not understand or remember all the time the proper behavior is for the classroom. It's just so important to remain patient with them.

Comments: I think this could be very beneficial for many reasons. By using this plan you could figure out why the child is acting out while also creating a closer bond with the student which might lead them to be more receptive to your instruction.

Comments: I think this is a very logical way to help solve the issue. Maybe something is going on at home. Maybe a parent teacher conference or a sit down with someone could be helpful. The student knows by now which buttons to push so I do not think it is something that a teacher should handle alone.
