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!) Having one on one time with this student can be helpful. You could have him stay a few minutes after class and talk to him about what he feels when he has these outburst. Giving him jobs to do or allowing for more movement during the lesson could help him.
