Case: Age is a problem Mrs. Honeycutt has a student in her 7th grade class that is 16 years old. He is constantly disrupting the class and does no work at all. All the kids try their best to impress him even if it means breaking rules. When this student is not at school everything runs much smoother. This student also bullies younger students because he is much older and larger. What should be done about this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) My first resort would be to determine the student's ability level. What I have found it that many students act out in this manner because the work is not rigorous enough or the work is too rigorous. After that it determined, I would begin to have conversations with the student to determine why he chooses to disrupt class. He obviously has some influence with the students in the room. So, I would discuss using that influence in a positive manner. After I've done these two things, I would heavily differentiate instruction for the student to meet his needs. This might encourage him to complete the assignments. I would also make him a leader for certain activities in the class to hold him accountable. During this time, I would still keep track of data to determine if the interventions used were effective or if something other methods should be suggested. |
