Other days, he is upset and throws his backpack or slams his chair into the table. My cooperating teacher and I do what we can to prevent agitation when he comes in, but some days there's just no preventing an outburst... Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would, on a good day or after unwinding from an outburst, pull the student aside to see what the issue is. If it is trouble at home, I would try and contact the parents or other members of staff to find a way to smooth over the experience for that student if possible. The classroom should be a safehaven but that also goes for outbursts. Try and treat the problem with empathy as there could be many causes.
