  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!)
Try to get some background information on the student. Is there an underlying issue that has not been addressed? Are there issues at home that are causing him to act out in school? Is this the behavior he is allowed to have at home? Is there a possibility he might have ADHD and needs physical activities? I would try to figure out what triggers the misbehavior and then I would know how to go from there. Maybe have class activities where the students are able to stand up and move around the room. There is a good chance the student is bored. Not bored from the work but bored from no movement. Therefore, figure out ways to incorporate movement into the lessons. If he is active then he has less chances to be bored and bother students.
