Case
Inappropriate Comments

I have a student who is consistently rude to me and makes comments that make me uncomfortable. I am in a TEBD setting so inappropriate language is nothing new, however, I do not appreciate the way I am talked to and I do not know how to stop it. Just talking to them doesn't do much at all.

It is very difficult to deal with EBD, and TEBD students. They definitely propose a unique problem to teachers. I work with an EBD student myself and here are some solutions have have worked to keep his behavior in check: The use of a behavior chart that he must get signed off by all classroom teachers as well as his parents (this includes small rewards such as candy or small toys for days where there behavior is in check), positive praise when the student is making the right choices, removal of a desired activity depending on grade level, phone call home to parents, as well as the possibility of giving lunch detentions and writing referrals with the support of your CT. Always remember to warn them first! Give them a choice. "You can either stop with these comments or continue your work or x will happen". I hope you find this solution helpful!

I think providing a reward/consequence system would work best with this student. I would make a consequence a parent teacher meeting if the behavior continued.

I like this suggestions because in some situations it is necessary to get the parents involved.

I totally agree rewarding a student and having negative consequences is a great motivator.

I agree with this suggestion as well. Maybe the student is just seeking your attention.

If you have spoken to the child and nothing seems to work, set up a parent teacher conference and talk to the parents.

Yes good suggestion. Have at least one parent meeting so the student knows he does not want to get into a situation like that again.

Maybe this particular teaching assignment is not suitable for you. Have you tried another branch of teaching?
