Carlos had a history of violence and aggression at his previous school, including brandishing knives and repeated suspensions. His new teacher was warned about his behavior but decided to start with a clean slate rather than prejudge him. To understand Carlos's misbehavior, the teacher should investigate his school file, consult other specialists, interview his previous teacher and parents to learn about his family background and any influences on his behavior, and observe how he interacts with classmates to gain his trust and create a plan to address the root causes of his misbehavior in a positive way.
