  Case: Commentary is not Necessary
I have a student in my 2nd grade class who just transferred from Chile. He is very loud and outspoken. He constantly interrupts the other students and says very inappropriate things to others. He sometimes struggles to understand what his peers and teachers are saying because of the language barrier. I think that his behavior is his way of coping and dealing with the major change in his life. What should I do to address this in a sensitive way not to shut him down completely?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The first thing I would suggest is that a bilingual teacher or para professional would be located. Having someone that speaks the students language may help clarify classroom rules and expectations. The student may not be used to American customs and expectations. If a bilingual assistant is not available I would suggest finding a translation app or device, which can be used to make expectations understood. Lastly, pairing the student with a peer may help make him more comfortable in his new surroundings. The student needs to feel accepted and understood. There are many great strategies that can be implemented to help this student.

Comments: I like the solution that is proposed as it gives strategies that are still respectful to the student and can be implemented by the teacher. I think it would be helpful for someone to speak with the student in their native language about the classroom rules and procedures so that they understand and work with a peer that they are comfortable with.

Comments: All of these solutions are great! The student may just be uncomfortable, and finding some middle ground with him would probably lessen the problem behavior and help him integrate better into the classroom.
