  Case: Student does not do any work and disrupts class.
In my internship theirs a student that doesn't do any work and disrupts the classroom by shouting out things like "this is stupid"," boring" or mimics the teacher. CT is going nuts trying to control this student. She has called admin and they take him to the office and is given an I pad for him to play on for the rest of the day. What are good ways to calm this students down.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This student may need more challenging work. If he is not engaged, this disruption will only increase. Additionally, this student knows that every time he acts out he gets sent to the office to play on the iPad. Therefore, he will only do it more. I would give him work that is challenging and that pushes him to think more. Then he will be more focused on the assignment. Maybe you could even give him an individual project to work on. He could research a specific topic and give a presentation to the class about it. He could pick the form of presentation, whether it be writing a song, building a diorama, or painting a picture. He could work on this in class after he finishes his other work and at home.

Comments: This student could still be bored because of work, try testing him for gifted or see if the student will work on other work that is not so boring for him. Perfectly said.
