Effective Ways to Handle Behavioral Students

How do we address behavioral students who are non compliant in the classroom and how do we motivate them? This research question is based on a student who was struggling behaviorally in my practicum classroom. Often she doesn’t want to do her work, throws extreme tantrums if she doesn’t get her way, etc. What I have found through the research, it’s best to incentivize this student particularly or work closely one on one with this student to succeed. What I’ve found to work, is working one on one with her closely, not giving in to the meltdowns she has, and using incentives. The most effective for me was personally sitting down with her and doing the worksheet together. She was more engaged, focused, and not throwing tantrums.
