This student is very disruptive and has already been labeled EBD. He continue to disrupt the classroom by flipping over desk, chairs, throwing things, and being so disruptive the entire class has to stop. The teachers have had administration come into the classroom over ten times. Their response is always to try to calm the student down and provide positive discipline. His behavior may change for the moment but is never consistent. He should be placed in the EBD classroom but they do not want to move him in the middle of the school year. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I am able to identify what you are working with in terms of students with who has been identified EBD. I have come up with strategies that work well for me in assisting him academically and behaviorally. The first thing is I have small task or duties that I assign to him. For example, if we are taking notes during class, I will allow him to sit at my desk and click through the power point as his peers take notes. Also, I will give him opportunities to do something he enjoys if he has good behavior two to three out of the five days we are at school. So if he has good behavior, he is able to play games and listen to music on the computer. One day during class, after I calmed him down from a tantrum, I sat down with him and created a YouTube playlist that contained cleaned versions of some of his favorite songs (granted they did not contain sexual or violent lyrics).
