  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!)
Since this student seems to shut down or act out when his behavior is corrected i think it could be effective to try positive reinforcement. Rather than always correcting his negative behaviors try to acknowledge and reward/thank him for his positive behaviors. You could also try to allow this student to stand up while working or use a ball chair so he can naturally move around while learning without it being a distraction or negative behavior.

Comments: I think this response brought up an important point that students need their positive behaviors praised as well. If the student wants attention and the only way they get that attention is through behaving poorly, theyre likely going to continue that behavior.

Comments: Flexible seating can make a real difference, so I'm glad you added this! Positive reinforcement has been getting a bad rep lately, but it can be very effective when used correctly.
