The effective strategy I would use to de-escalate a student's acting out would be identify points
of agreement. By using this strategy, you can build a rapport with the student. Which could be
very helpful with future behavioral issues. While you need to maintain your professional
integrity, you should not agree with the student when you actually disagree. For example: If a
student gets upset because they have lost their homework you could say, I understand why you
are upset, I would be upset too losing my homework. However, you can re-do it and this time it
will not be counted as late. Maybe you should get a folder to put your homework in, so this
does not happen again.
