  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!)
If it a short interruption, I would ignore it. Feed the stray dog, and it will come back for more food. If you continue to I've this child negative attention by addressing every tiny outburst, they are going to continue to do so in order to get a reaction. If it is not disrupting the entire class or escalating by involving other peers, I would try to ignore it and carryon with your lesson.
If it is disruptive, you could try to move closer to the student as you are containing to teach so they are receiving more attention through you. Then, have a private conversation after class.
