Clear Procedures for Referals |
|
|
|
Detecting a problem with a student is only half the battle. Once a teacher sees cause for concern, they need to know what to do and they need to have support from the administration. The student should be referred to the school councilor. From there, the student may need to talk to a psychologist, psychiatrist, or social worker. In order to prevent students from acting through their problems in a violent manner, they must learn to deal with the problem itself. |

Positive School Climates |
|
|
|
In attempts to difuse cliques in schools and hostile attitudes among students, schools are implimenting positive programs. Mentoring programs are meant to create a trusting caring relationship between students and teachers. Letting students know that someone cares. Parental involvement is also a key. Teachers and parents should have open lines of communication so when concerns do arise with students, parents and teacher can work together to help the student. Homeroom and homebase programs also give students the opportunity to come in contact with each other. This could help difuse the cliques that create alienation in schools. |
