The hardest issue I have is working with young foreign students who have not been disciplined, and in whose cultures, parents don't discipline. I'm still working through this. But my goal is not enforce discipline in the "shut up and sit down" fashion. My goal is to get the child to bring himself under his own self discipline. Sometimes that means ignoring him while I teach the others, but without allowing them to say things about him that are negative--if they do talk I just say what the problem is--he needs to get control of himself. Sometimes he gets interested and comes in to the activity. Sometimes he doesn't. One day I had us all hold pinky fingers as a promise to behave. Now everyday they start out the class with that (their call) and then I can appeal to that during the class. I always let him know I care about him and sometimes talk with him. I try never to embarass him in front of others. It's not a one shot deal. It's ongoing, but I have seen some success. And I don't know if it's the best way or not.

As a special ed teacher I have seen pretty much everything. The best resource I can recommend for challenging behaviors is the "Teacher’s Encyclopedia of Behavior Management: 100 Problems/500 Plans." It's put out by Pacific Northwest Publishing and I dont think you can get it on Amazon or Barnes and Noble. But I use it nearly every week for developing and modifying behavior plans. It has everything from defiance to chronic masturbation.
