I have a student in my internship who I never quite know how to handle. He is a very active student, and is always talking or moving about the room. When he is blatantly being disrespectful (i.e. purposefully bothering another student who is asking him to stop) and me or the teacher asks him to return to his desk or leave the student alone, he will scream out about how he "wasn't even doing anything" or just make loud, upset noises and then make a scene. If he is off task and I or the teacher asks him to get back on task, he will shut down, make a comment, or walk out of the room. The words we are using are soft, and never accusatory. How should I get this kid back on task without him shutting down or making a scene??

I think you should build a relationship with this student and figure out why this student is behaving like this. Maybe there is an underlining reason that may cause these outbursts. Once you have a deeper understanding on why the child is behaving this way, you can approach it more in depth with the correct reinforcers you may need.
