Case: Student is disruptive in Class I teach in a class where students have me for a Reading, Writing, and Civics teacher and my colleague for Math and Science. We have a student who is very disruptive in class and often talks about things that are not on topic. Our class sits in groups of four, some groups have five; he is the fifth student in a group. Not only is my colleague getting upset with his behaviors, his classmates are, too. I have tried proximity, eye contact, and reminding the student that he is not on topic to discourage his negative comments, but he persist. Do you have any suggestions in dealing with him? My colleague wants to move him to a self-contained ESE classroom because he is too disruptive. He has a 504 plan, but his parents deny he has any issues. I am trying to combat this for the sake of the child, while maintaining a positive learning environment for all. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would try to move him to a smaller group of 4 students instead of having him be the 5th member. I would also try to redirect the conversation back to the topic when he starts to ramble. I think I would go over the classroom rules and explain that I am not going to listen to anyone who has not raised their hand silently and waited until they have gotten permission to speak. I have seen this work before for some students. |
