  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!)
I would reach out to the student and conference with him to see why he is behaving this way. Then, I would make a plan with the student that they agree to. Maybe have a token economy with that particular student, where if they don't call out all day they get a pencil, all week a candy bar, etc. You could also use redirection with the student, instead of saying sit down, you could say how can I help you complete this assignment.

Comments: I think this is helpful but I think it would also be helpful to help the student understand that he needs to be intrinsically motivated as well
