# 3. How do I discuss alarming behavior with the student?

In the previous module, we focused on recognising alarming behaviour. What tools do you now have to help you bring your concerns into the open, and discuss them with both the individual student and the class? How do you identify this behaviour and make sure the right people are informed, so that appropriate action can be taken if necessary?

Module 3 deals with discussing concerns about alarming behaviour.

| #### Aim

The aim of this module is for you to learn how to discuss your concerns about alarming behaviour with others. To do that effectively, it is important to understand responses and behaviours within street culture. This module teaches you how to gain the trust of a student who is displaying alarming behaviour. You’ll also be given tools to help you start the dialogue, with both the individual and the class.

| #### Structure

This module is structured as follows:

1. In the first part of the module, we show you three scenes in which a student and a teacher are conversing. Each scene has a specific theme. Think about how you would respond in a similar situation.
2. This module is about bringing concerns about alarming behaviour into the open and talking about them. The second part covers street culture. This will help you engage more effectively with your students and understand specific behaviours that may seem strange to you. We also provide tools to help you start the conversation.
3. In the third part of the module we translate theory into practice by analysing a real case: the story of three students who committed suicide.

| #### Duration

This module takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
