Miss Lusk is about to have a private, quiet conversation with Jeffery, who has been argumentative all morning, which is out of character for him. Which statement below is the most appropriate one for her to use to address her concern with Jeffery?

a. You've been pretty cranky this morning. What's going on?
b. When you argue with me, it is very upsetting. I'm trying my best to do a good job of teaching you and you're making it a very tough job.
c. It seems like you might be upset about something, and that worries me. You can tell me about it if you'd like to, and maybe we can figure out a solution.
d. We have all noticed that you're not feeling like yourself today. Do you want to talk about it?

Question 2

Johnny is clowning around and whispering to his peers while you are teaching a lesson at the front of the classroom.You've given him the look, but he didn't catch on to why you were making eye contact with him. The next thing you should probably try to get Johnny back on task would be to:

a. continue with your lesson, but walk over and stand close to Johnny.
b. Say, Johnny, you didn't notice that I was signaling to you to straighten up. So now I have to interrupt the lesson and remind you of how to behave. I'm so disappointed in you.
c. write Johnny a referral and send him to the office.
d. ignore Johnny's behavior because it is not really serious enough to intervene.
