The students in my classroom crave attention. They need it and get it in all forms; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Often, they are receiving attention from staff due to acting out, calling out, or making poor choices due to limited social skills. Instead of raising their hand, they shout out across the classroom and each time you remind them to quietly ask their questions, they loudly protest with, "Why?" Some of the students shut down the moment you ask them to take out their pencils, while others shut down if their schedule has been changed or shifted. The students will at times lose control of their tempers and with anger, yell or use inappropriate language to which the staff respond by having the students find a quiet area to re-center themselves and have a conversation to get them back on track and ready for their day.
