They are currently waiting for the paperwork to go through to find a way to help this student because he is not learning anything in her classroom. Just to give you an idea he will throw chairs at the teacher as well as the students, the other day he ran out of the classroom through the fire escape. As of now she has zero support from her administration, besides chasing him around the school (literally chasing) if he runs out of her classroom. What would you suggest she do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would speak to last years teacher to get a better idea of what the student's likes and dislikes are. In order to keep him in the classroom, you should try to have things within the classroom that he likes. Safety is the biggest issue in this situation and there needs to be some type of proactive and reactive plan. What are you going to do to prevent the student from running out? What would you do if the student does run out? Who will watch your classroom and/or chase after this student? These are questions that will be in this proactive and reactive plan that need answers. I also would try to contact the student's parents to offer suggestions and ideas that can be implemented in the classroom. I might want to start the RTI process for this student in order to get classroom and behavioral supports. I would also still go to the administration for support and continue to explain the situations in the classroom. Keeping records of all the insidents would also be a smart move. Email your administration as well, keep a log of that and now if the administration is still unsupportive, you have everything in writing to prove. You also might want to see what it takes to receieve a teacher's assistant. All of these steps will help you determine what is best for this student and you need to always remember that safety is the biggest issue in this situation.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Rated On: February 25, 2013 7:57 pm Rated By: eMypur                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Rated On: February 28, 2013 10:54 pm Rated By: hujupu
