  Case: Students Fighting
I am in an EBD classroom and the students never fight while in the classroom but the minuet they are in the hallway all bets are off. When the students are in their specials it is very difficult to ensure the students are behaving, especially since the other teacher has no classroom management skills. What are some ways to stop having the students fight?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One option is to talk to the parents of these students, and see what management strategies they use at home for these students. If possible, periodically attending the specials period yourself to observe is an option. Also, you could invite the parents to observe this time period as well. A conversation with the other teacher may be helpful.

Comments: Before calling the parents, I think talking to the students one on one will help. If there isn't a change in behavior then calling their parents would be the next solution.

Comments: One thing I would like to note is that you should have documentation of the two fighting if possible (and why it has gone on for so long). Parents may not immediately believe that their little Jimmy was getting into a fight, therefore it MUST be the other kid.

Also, if you can, see why the specials teacher won't intervene. Do the kids behave for the specials teacher or does the teacher just not do anything about it?

Comments: This is a good idea, especially with involving the parents management of their child’s behavior. Getting the parent’s input and the advice from other teachers is very wise and combined a solution can be found.
