Re-read the classroom scenario on the bottom of page 166 in Ming-tak and Wai-shing (2008). Create a plan of action for Miss Lee that describes how she should deal with this situation. Include strategies and interventions that include communicating with both the student and his parents. When discussing strategies and interventions, be sure to explain their educational merit, including any outside research that supports them.

Answer 1

Answer

The first step is for Miss Lee to seek direction from the guidance counselor at school on how to handle such a situation. Dowshen (2015) claims that counselors assist children and teachers in coping. They are good listeners who know how to assist others. Counselors have been trained to deal with difficult-to-control student misbehavior. The teacher will then try to establish a connection with the student to see whether the problem can be resolved in class. If the student's behavior does not change at the class level, the counselor will speak with parents and ask them to a seminar and meeting to address the student's behavior change. Parents will be invited to schedule a meeting with their child's teacher after school and to join the school's student council organization.

Miss Lee could speak with the guidance counselor at her school to determine the best course of action in this case. The instructor and guidance counselor could adopt a whole-school approach to assisting the student in recovering his or her attention by formulating a plan of action. Hue and Wai-shing (2008) encourage instructors to work together to develop successful classroom management strategies.

School-wide limitations, such as a referral system for children like Ming who would be directed to the school counselor for help and counseling, including a behavioral assessment to understand the sources of their behavior, may be implemented. Similar to the student council, Ming is a group or organization run by other bright youngsters who are overseen by an adult (Blaineschools.org, 2020). Students are given opportunities to take charge; they plan and execute school activities. Because Ming is responsible and bright, he would benefit from this.

The ability of Miss Lee to connect with her children is crucial. Ming appears to be disinterested, claiming that he is unable to connect with anyone. Too many late-night computer games have led to his request for assistance. He needs someone to be truthful with him and help him refocus. According to Higgs (2013), teachers should allow students to learn a little about them in order to develop rapport. Miss Lee could tell Ming that she was bored with school at times, but she had to find the power inside herself to become more focused and work toward her objectives. She might also emphasize that if he has any worries, he should communicate them to her since she is happy to hear them and work with him to find a solution. Children occasionally have quiet challenges, according to Higgs (2013), thus teachers can use the hidden curriculum to teach them how to persevere. Teachers must be skilled at not altering the curriculum but instead drawing on personal experiences when appropriate. Miss Lee may meet with Ming after school to discuss how she may assist him in concentrating on his academics.
