There are plenty of other students who are often typically overlooked, such as
depressed, withdrawn, abused, neglected, thought
disordered, and anxious students.
Children in crisis, socially maladjusted, and alcoholic and addicted kids also often
are missed. You must be especially careful to closely monitor the safety issues faced by
students who may be quietly gesturing or suicidal.
Carefully watch pregnant girls, teen parents, and those adolescents and children who
have severe emotional or family problems. This
guideline holds true for teachers, sped teachers, principals, court workers, justice workers, foster parents,
and case managers. You don't have to be trained as a social worker,
counselor, psychologist or mental health worker to incur an obligation to keep all kids safe.
All youth workers have that obligation, regardless of their training,
job title, or the mission of their site.
The second problem area that we recommend you consider addressing as soon as possible is
attendance and punctuality. Why? If you are the best teacher, counselor or special educator--
whatever your job-- it doesn't matter how talented and effective you are
if that student isn't in your classroom or office. The time to start teaching
attendance and punctuality is Day 1, Week 1 of your contact with the child. If a child
is absent, nothing else you do that day really matters for that student. Our
All the Best Answers for the
Worst Kid Problems Series (shown below) includes innovative strategies
for many of these critical starting points, plus much more.
