One way you could enforce the rule is to practice it first thing in the morning before he has a chance to blurt out or to call on him when another student blurts out to lead the class in a rehearsal of the rule - make him an expert and role model. <br /><br />If your student is anything like mine was this might still cause him to get upset. There may be some underlying issues and confidence building that need to be addresses before you see any real results. The little guy I had was so upset with himself that I couldn't teach any rules with him thinking it was a direct attack on himself. You might want to talk with him and have him come up with some ways that he can remind himself that the other students are not teasing or bother him. He might also be feeling extra sensitive because he is always being negatively called out for his actions so always point out his (as well as the other students') good behaviour.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841253372867981153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-871736047643866747.post-72868660098550902702014-07-29T12:54:06.297-04:002014-07-29T12:54:06.297-04:00Karen, that's a great question!

I've been teaching, rehearsing, and role playing the not-so-good ways and the better ways of handling situations. I'm so excited that I found WBT, because now I have a more fun way of teaching and rehearsing this! I've been using it in my classroom for a year, and the kids LOVE it! I'm almost finished reading Whole Brain Teaching for Challenging Kids, and I can't wait to start using all that I've learned next year! This post was an excellent way to further expand upon what I've been learning, with awesome real world examples.

I prefer calling them procedures.

He has temper tantrums whenever he feels like the class or an individual is bothering, teasing or frustrating him. If I follow this WBT approach of asking the class to recite the rule after he has blurted, I know he will react in this way. Anyone else had a similar situation? Hoping he matures over the summer!Karen Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824421023718944904noreply@blogger.com
