Suppose You Are an Elementary School Teacher, and Your Student

question 11

Essay

Suppose you are an elementary school teacher, and your student, Joe Don, has problems managing his anger. He gets angry during recess if he doesn't win the game he's playing. He gets angry in the classroom if a student nearby tells him to be quiet during seatwork. Today, he pushed another child causing the child to fall and scrape her elbow on the pavement. How might you use the "Guidelines for Encouraging Emotional Self-Regulation" to teach coping strategies, to make sure your other students feel safe, and to help Joe Don learn self-management skills. Using the guidelines, you might follow through with fair consequences when Joe Don displays anger. This helps maintain a climate of trust and helps the other students feel safe in your classroom.
