defiance

A video recorded skit featuring Jemeca (an oppositional defiant teen), his classmate and his teacher. The skit demonstrates inappropriate and appropriate reactions to oppositional defiance and resistance in the classroom. The appropriate teacher response to Jameca’s defiance includes an understanding of Jameca’s culture, his medical condition, and a sense of his home life. Additionally, you will find teacher testimonials discussing the resistance by Jameca and experiences in our own classes.

Description of Daniel Toshalis’ Resistance Theory supplemented with personal testimonials about experiencing resistance in our classes. Additionally, teacher testimonials can be found describing our own experiences with student resistance in our classrooms.
