I have a student with emotional & behavioral issues, I feel it is du to his lack of support in his home life when he is faced with many other challenges. For the most part in my class it is has been all about building trust, he is a wonderful artist but just lacks self confidence because no one has ever given him positive support. So we start small and build on that. I try to push a little more each day with small rewards through out the week. But you can see the light in his eye when he is praised. It is difficult because I kn ow there is so much more going on but trying to get him to use his art as an emotional outlet rather than physical anger. Tools, I have provided is sketchbooks, use of "special" pencils and supplies as well as allowing student to barrow books . I feel over time if more teachers could see past his hard exterior he can be more productive. |
