In the beginning of the year, Ms. Ricks notices that her student, Darrell Brooks likes to provoke attention. He is a very popular student and likes to cause a bit of trouble in the classroom. He is the troublemaker type, but clearly smart, happy and engaged. How might Ms. Ricks use this potential to the classes’ advantage?
  1. Having a stern talking to with Darrell Brooks to about who’s in charge
  2. Ask for the principal to intervene with this student to establish strict boundaries
  3. Allow for occasional disruptions
  4. Befriend Darrell and use his strengths within her teaching
Explanation
Answer: D - Befriend Darrell and use his strengths within her teaching. This sort of positive reinforcement of a student, and a student who is liked, is invaluable. A teacher should not start managing a relationship by looking for a problem; the more effective route is to use what you have so that it works for everyone.
