The student that I am observing for my case study is a very imaginative student in our classroom. I believe this because I can say one word to this student and he can come up with a whole story just from that word. When he works one on one with a teacher, he is very cooperative and polite. I recently noticed that if a fellow classmate were struggling with a particular concept, he would try to give them hints towards the answer. There are quite a few patterns of behavior that have been interfering with this student’s school success. The one that I would like to focus on for this case study is this student’s aggressive behavior. We have been in school for approximately 9 weeks now, and each week we have seen some type of aggressive behavior from this student. This behavior is not accidental, it is intentional. He is not only being aggressive towards other students in the class, but also towards the teachers and the principle of our school. An example of this behavior was last week during our “jobs” part of the day after lunch. This boy was sitting in his listening spot on our gathering carpet and suddenly turned around, grabbed another students’ head, and slammed it into the hard floor. When I removed him from the rest of the students shortly after this incident he started to kick and hit me. I had originally assumed that these behaviors were only occurring at school towards people that the student was unfamiliar with. However, when the mother began coming in to take this student home, he was also kicking, hitting, and biting her. When these behaviors occurred towards his mother, nothing was done in response to this behavior from the mother. It was basically just ignored. When these behaviors occur in our room like... ... middle of paper ... ... of situations in which this behavior may occur. In this one on one setting, we see a definite difference in the student’s behavior and attitude. The other intervention that we can try with this student would be to have him develop a book about how to behave in kindergarten and why it is important. This book could potentially act as a reminder for this student. A third solution would be for us to provide this student with some quiet time in a safe place. This would allow the student to calm himself down in whatever way works for him and then he can rejoin the group. It is important to note once again, that this is a very rare case in which the parents do not want to work with the school to help their child. This makes things very difficult for my mentor and myself I, however, we are trying to implement these things within our classroom to help this student.

There are four general goals for student misbehavior, which include attention, power, revenge, and avoidance-of-failure. In the past, I have responded to all of these goals for misbehavior in the same or similar ways. I would give verbal warnings, and if that didn’t work I would raise my voice/yell, have the student sit in the hallway, send the student to the office, call home, and/or assign an after school detention. These consequences would usually temporarily stop a behavior, but they were not long-term solutions. I now know that there are very different strategies that should be used to deal with students who are misbehaving according to what their goal is.
Facts: The Louise Lombard School is a developmental center for disabled children in the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). It is here that seventeen-year-old John Doe, an emotionally-disturbed student assaulted another student. According to his April 1980 IEP, Doe had several goals set for coping with frustrating situations and relating to his peers. During the incident in November, Doe reacted to the taunts of other students by choking another student and leaving abrasions on the child’s neck. While being escorted to the principal’s office, Doe also kicked out a school window. The principal suspended Doe for five days. During his suspension, the Student Placement
... is brought about. For school faculty, whether it be the teacher, custodians, etc, bringing it to the principle to come up with a resolution such as detention, counselling or getting the child more involved in extra curricular activities should be considered. For instance, if the child bullied more than once to the same or different kids, perhaps more time in detention, bringing it to the attention of the principle and participating in extra curricular activities like cleaning up the trash from the school grounds,etc to keep that child busy. If it gets to the point of being out of control, perhaps suspending or expelling the child. Even If the child is a first time offender, letting the parent know as soon as possible to correct the issue as well as detention to keep a close watch on the child. The moment they act out again, the more strict the punishment should be.
There is always a reason why a child acting a certain way. Often times they do not know how to communicate what their problem is. Tends to let it all build up inside and cope with it by doing drugs, joining a gang, disrespecting their parent, drinking alcohol and other bad behaviors. Sometimes children bring the same negative energy to the school and misbehave by fighting or disrespecting their teacher. In the Human Service field, there is a School Psychologist who reaches out to children and find out the exact problem they are experiencing.
George has unruly behavior that affects other students in the classroom, not only that George’s behavior is disruptive, but his behavior is disruptive to his fellow classmates. George’s behavior became disruptive from the point where he strikes at his fellow students, and throws paper and his books at the classroom floor whenever he gets angry. George’s disruptive behavior affect and it also interferes with his fellow students listening to the presentation from the teacher. George behavior can lead to other student outbursts and can also result in the student getting a lower grade due to inattentive during classroom activities.
When and how does the child cooperate with other children, does she share, take turns, negotiate or help the other child with tasks?
There are many key components to shaping a young child 's life and could be better implemented through professionalism. I like to reflect back to the “Children See Children Do” video, which clearly proves children imitate/learn verbal and nonverbal cues from adults. As a teacher, it is necessary to be the best version of yourself everyday, in order to pass those actions along. This not only affects a child 's ethics but it also generates better behavior which affects the parents lives in a more positive way outside of the classroom. This module has taught me many different techniques when working with a misbehaved child. For instance, I plan to use self awareness in my classroom to keep a positive tone and eliminate poor body language. I will also use breathing methods for children as well as myself to establish a well-rounded classroom. Professionalism is such an important role in shaping our young child 's lives and it deserves to be stressed more which will in turn create a better learning
The observation took place at the Child-Development Center classroom D at Yuba College. When I arrived the children were outside playing in the grass and play-sets available. We made a few trips to the bathroom, and towards the end of my observation we moved into the classroom. It was a cool day so the kids did not mind being outside, so most of the observation occurred outside the
The child I observed was a seven-year-old girl in Year 2 who sat on the second highest ability table in a mixed class. While not in school, she lived a substantial distance away meaning she travelled to and from school by car and was often the first child to arrive in the morning and the last to leave in the afternoon. I will focus on the social and emotional development of this child who, from now onwards, will be referred to as C.
The child I observed is Lucy, she is three years old, weighs about 30 lbs, and is 35.5 inches tall. Lucy is white, has blonde hair and blue eyes. In her usual household Lucy lives with her mother, father, older brother and older sister. Due to some flooding in the basement, the family had to temporarily move out of their home and into the father’s parents’ house. At the time of the observation the members in the house hold consisted of Lucy, her brother, sister, mother, father and paternal grandmother and grandfather.
The teacher then called the principle which resulted in the police being called. When the police got there he asked student to get up and when he didn’t get what he wanted he flipped her out the chair and dragged her across the room. Even though bad behavior is not excepted in schools there could have been different ways the situation could have been handled other than aggressive force.
It is important that everyone in a district, school, and classroom work together to prevent and solve bullying. This is a problem that concerns everyone including teachers, students, and parents. As a school or classroom we must educate students and staff to the warning signs of those who bully and those who are victims. Equally, we must communicate to the students the district policies and expectations that are laid out clearly in the handbook. Districts must decide on and implement a bullying prevention program that fits the needs of its student body.
Case studies are a collection of data obtained using various methods gathered on an individual or group to record areas of interest in order to assist with analysis and provide recommendations. The study should include the name of the person, although this should be protected to provide anonymity where appropriate, and a brief description of the subject. The setting where the study is to be performed should be included. The aim of the observation must be presented along with a report of the findings. The type of method used will depend upon the subject and the area of interest. Data is gathered on the subject in this case observations were used to provide the data. An interpretation of the study will be made in order to provide a conclusion and recommendations made if applicable. Freud famously used the case studies that he carried out on his patients to develop his Psychoanalytic Theory.
Many factors in a child’s life may lead him or her to have such emotional distress that they begin bullying other students at school. Social factors are usually the easiest aspect to identify that would cause a child to bully their classmates. The child may have been bullied them self, which leads to pent up aggression which leads to the release of this aggression on other students. It may also be simp...
