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!) You could possibly pull him to the side when he begins to act out. Encourage him ask him if there is anything that he would like to talk to you about and if he doesn't want to talk to you let him know that there are others he can speak w/ if he is comfortable. Remind the student that he is capable and you know that he can turn his/her behavior around. I would let him/her know that everyone has rough days but there are better ways to handle however he/she is feel. Continue to encourage and speak positive affirmations over the student.
