You may want to check for any information on the student as far as maybe a behavior intervention plan. Hopefully if a teacher has a student in their classroom with these concerns, there should be some sort of documentation
on the student as for rules, consequences, or strategies to deal with the student.
If a student becomes violent, YES...get help from another staff member or administrator...you must protect yourself, that student, and other students! There may be guidelines for how to deal with the student, but if restraint is an issue, you must have the proper training to do it.
If you are seeing
behaviors, try to determine what may be causing it (trying to get out of work? angry? sick? attention seeking? etc) and try to address it from that view point...if you threaten consequences if the student does not comply with your expectations...be prepared to follow through....but be careful on what you determine as a "punishment" or reward...make sure you can appropriately follow through.
