  Case: student being disruptive
In a kinder garden class I subbed for, there was a student that was always acting out: whining, yelling out, sitting on top of the desk and more. It was very disruptive to the class as the students were pointing it out to me on top of him actively doing these things where I could see and hear him. Do you think the best solution is to ignore the behavior even though it is disruptive? or should I fully address him and how?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First and foremost, it is important to try and identify the function of the misbehavior. What I mean by that is determine why the student is acting out. For example, it is possible that this student is acting out for attention. However, it is also possible that there is a much more complicated cause such as an inability to understand the content. Therefore, it is necessary to sit down with the student and have a conversation during which this is established. Depending on the student need as determined following this conversation, I would then choose one or a combination of behavioral strategies, such as a behavior contract in which expectations and goals for behavior are agreed upon.

Comments: I appreciate your response because it is important for us to understand why the student is causing a disruption, many times it can be something so much bigger then just wanting attention. Its also important to let that student know we are there to support and listen to them.
