Kayla is highly competent, but strong-willed and bossy. When working in a group, she tends to dominate and has a hard time listening to and accepting other ideas or feedback. Which of the following strategies may allow Kayla to participate more successfully?
  1. Remove Kayla from group projects for the time being.
  2. Instruct the children to treat her the same way.
  3. Model appropriate behaviors for group-time exercises and praise those children who are successful.
  4. Pair Kayla with a very passive child who doesn’t mind being bossed around.
Explanation
Answer: C-Some direct teaching of appropriate behaviors for group time usually helps children who are lacking in social skills. Positive praise for children who are successful is also motivating. Pair a bossy child with students who have mature social skills. These children will neither become passive or aggressive, but can deal with Kayla appropriately. In some cases, a teacher may need to talk privately to a childlike Kayla about her behavior.
