Trauma Informed Review

A disregulated student is one who

• interrupts the class lesson

• is on his/her phone all period

• is trying to sleep in class

• All of the above

Billy shouts in class and is upset at another student. You say...

• "BIlly, you need to solve your problem more quietly"

• "That's enough, BIlly. Go see Ms. Barillas"

• "Billy, come talk to me. Help me understand what's going on"

• "I'll see you on Tuesday for detention, Billy"

Billy is tossing an object to their friend and having trouble sitting still. You say...

• "Hey, Billy, come trade me for this fidget"

• "Knock it off, you two or I will call security."

• "Bring that item to me immediately"

• "I see someone wants a phone call home tonight"

Billy is upset because they scored a lower grade than they wanted and believe your grading is unfair. You say...

• Well, you should have followed instructions, Billy.

• You're not producing "A" caliber work.

• You need to work harder on the next assignment.

• It's tough to get that A, isn't it? Let's look at the rubric together.

When is the best time to provide guidance and discipline for a student?

• The exact moment they misbehave even if it interrupts class. I need to make an example of it.

• Once the student has calmed down (even if it's the next day) and you can have a logical conversation.

• Not my job, that's Ms. Barillas and Dr. Hood.

• Let the parents do it. I'm not putting in more energy than they are.

After entering your grade for Billy for the quarter, you say

• Clearly they don't want to learn.

• Nothing I ever do works with them.

• I'm doing the best I can and I need help and more resources for this student.

• I quit.
