Ian is a Sec 1 boy with ASD. He is generally well-behaved  in class. He is intelligent and able to understand instructions well. He has occasional meltdowns and the triggers can vary.

One day, during lessons, the teacher asked the class to copy down answers when she was going through past year questions. He did not have his book with him and he did not want to copy the answers. He said that he already had the answers written in his book. The teacher insisted that he copy down the answers on a piece of paper.

Ian got upset and he had a meltdown. He shouted at the teacher and stomped on her feet a few times. He was removed from class and he later informed the AED (LBS) that he was upset and knew that he had done something wrong. He apologized to the teacher.

Investigation revealed that he was already agitated during recess earlier and he did not follow the instructions of the teacher who was on duty.

The teacher had to seek medical attention as her leg was swollen.

1. Choose a picture to represent your current state of mind?

2. What’s something that made you laugh while working?

3. If you could only talk to one person for a whole week, and it had to be one of your colleagues, who would it be?

Tom has been diagnosed with Intellectual Disability. He has been found to be more suited to go to a special school.

Tom has inadequate social skills and has difficulty communicating. He has difficulty in expressing how he feels and communicates in very simple sentences. He is able to understand simple instructions but has difficulties following them. He also has difficulty regulating his emotions.

One day Tom had a meltdown in class after recess. The teacher did not know the reason behind the meltdown. She tried to calm him down but it did not work. He got more agitated and he hit his classmate in the stomach and his teacher who was pregnant.

After a while he calmed down and the case was brought to your attention.

I feel so 'needed' in so many places today.

But I did get to laugh, thanks to many wonderful colleagues. Blessed...I can't choose just one, I enjoy talking to many people

1. It is good to know that we all agree that with SEN students, we have to put in more thoughts before meting out any consequences. Working with CMT to come up with right intervention is necessary. 2. I would like to know more about the e-Book Managing Challenging - looks like good source of information for SM.

1. I have learnt that it is important to go back to the first step of Promoting and Preventing even when addressing discipline issues for students with SEN so that the same standards are applied to all.

2. I would like to find out more about what we can do as DMs when we investigate incidents that happen online. (e.g. inappropriate posts on social media platforms).

Using the ECF to manage students behaviour, especially those with SEN. The management of students caught vaping. Thanks for sharing.

# data[].attributes.body
#1 takeaway - I used to send HSA and our own customised letter to inform parents of consequences, for students caught vaping or in possession of liquid pods/vapouriser. Perhaps, I will also email the list to HSA to see if further actions can be taken.

Really hope that some agencies/ministries (don't know who I can approach) can look into addressing the blatant online sales of vapouriser and pods. It is a worrying trend....

2. I would like to find out if anyone has any lessons for emotional regulation.
