Working with ODD Students
I recently was leading a class with a student who has displayed signs of ODD both in and out of the class room. This student was involved in a verbal argument with an other student. I'll likely be working with this student again in the coming semester and I am very hesitant about accepting a teaching assignment with this student.
Any thought about how to proceed without jeprodizing my adjunct position?
Joseph,
That's a tough one. I think it might be helpful to talk to your colleagues and find out if others have witnessed the same behavior that you did. If so, then there should be others who are concerned about this student continuing as well, and it is something that can jointly be brought to the administration. If no one else has noted that behavior, then maybe you don't need to be quite so concerned.
