I have a student who very often has to go into time out during extra curricular time, because not listening or fighting with other students. Every time the student has to go into time out he cries and cries and cries. I feel bad but he has to learn. I am not sure how to handle this situation.
I agree that positive reinforcement will work, but I believe that problem students need to feel needed. Give this student responsibility. Let him enforce class rules during extra curricular time. This may help him avoid breaking the rules he is enforcing.
i agree with having a behavior management plan.
If I were in this situation I would do the same thing. developing goals for the student is important for resolving behavioral problems.
