  Case: Calling Out for Attention
In a class I was an intern for, a young girl would randomly call out information. Clearly, the stunts were for attention, as she would talk about her personal life whenever given the opportunity (or not). The teacher of the class tried to combat by reminding the student to not share personal information and not to call aloud unless called upon, but the behavior persisted. Eventually, the child's behavior became a lot less mild after talking with counselors for some time. What else could be done for these types of behaviors?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Having a one on one conversation with the student is a good start to see why she acts out the way she does and tell her if there is anything that you as a teacher can do to try and mask that unwanted behavior. It is also important to always keep parents updated on what goes on in the classroom and how their child is acting in the classroom.

Comments: I like that you are also reaching out to her, by showing that you can be there for her, if there is something that she may need. It may be the one on one attention that this girl needs for some reason, but the parents do also need to know what is going on in the class, in case they are unaware of such behavior.
