  Case: Doesn't Listen
I have a student who consistently calls out in class. Even when I give explicit instructions and directions, the student still will call out. This student does so to be funny and to get attention. How can I handle it in a way that doesn't draw attention to the bad behavior? I've tried positive reinforcement but it doesn't seem to work that well.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You could ignore the behavior when the student does this and then talk to them about it privately. Let them know they need to work on it and that if they can, then they will be able to help you with something, that way they can get attention and work on not calling out.

Comments: I wholeheartedly agree with talking to the student in private. Calling them out in class will encourage the behavior, as you are giving them attention. I like the idea of having him work up to being able to help the teacher, as this gives him a sense of responsibility.
