The student I am observing for my case study is a very imaginative student in our class. I believe this because I can say one word to this student and he can make up an entire story just from that word. When working one-on-one with a teacher, he is very cooperative and polite. I recently noticed that if a classmate was struggling with a particular concept, he would try to give him suggestions for the answer. There are some patterns of behavior that interfered with this student's academic success. What I would like to focus on for this case study is this student's aggressive behavior. We have been in school for about 9 weeks now and every week we have seen some type of aggressive behavior from this student. This behavior is not random, it is intentional. He is not only aggressive towards the other students in the class, but also towards the teachers and the principles of our school. An example of this behavior occurred last week during the “work” portion of the day after lunch. This boy was sitting in his listening seat on our rally carpet and suddenly turned around, grabbed another student's head and slammed it onto the hard floor. When I separated him from the rest of the students shortly after this incident, he started kicking and hitting me. I initially thought that these behaviors only occurred at school towards people with whom the student was unfamiliar. However, when the mother began to come to take the student home, he also kicked, hit and bit her. When these behaviors occurred towards the mother, nothing was done in response to this behavior by the mother. It was basically just ignored. When these behaviors occur in our room like... in the middle of a sheet of paper... of situations where this behavior can occur. In this individual context, we see a clear difference in the student's behavior and attitude. The other intervention 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 serve as a reminder for this student. A third solution would be to provide this student with some quiet time in a safe place. This would allow the student to calm down in whatever way works for them and then join the group. It is important to note once again that this is a very rare case where parents do not want to cooperate with the school to help their children. This makes things very difficult for me and my mentor. However, we are trying to implement these things in our classroom to help this student.
