Emotional Behavior Disorder

There is a student in the class that has an emotional behavior disorder. He has troubles following the most simple instructions without getting mad or frustrated. Yesterday, he got mad at another student and yelled at him in the middle of class. The teacher tried to talk to the student but instead he walked out of the room and slammed both of our doors as loudly as one can. He typically has a paraprofessional with him at all times, but due to some of the teaching staff quitting this year he has had to alternate with a new helper every day to every week. The student seemingly has no control of his actions and will just get up and leave the room whenever he gets upset. It has really opened my eyes to some of the different behaviors I will see in the classroom one day.

  1. We also have 2 students like this in my class. 1 of the students will even get physical and has thrown chairs across the room when told to do something they don't want to even if the teacher is asking nicely. The other student has to sit away from the other students during lessons and is out of the room for half of the day with the SPED teachers who are the only ones who seem to really be able to calm him down when he gets too worked up. It is interesting how many students really deal with these kinds of behaviors and the different ways teachers manage them.
