  Case: student always wanting attention
In a class i substituted for, there was this student who would always try to get my attention to show me everything they were doing or to ask for help on things she really did not need help on. This was a disruption as I had to stop talking to the students wether as a class or individually to see what the student needed. What solution do you suggest for this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I also had a few student like this. What was recommended to me was to going with my classroom circulation and stress the importance of the task, directions, and expectations that the teachers set. When they want to show you something that is not on task then remind them they have a task to concentrate on. Explain that thy can reserve any questions for specific parts of a lesson, when you do a check for understanding. If they are trying to take your attention from the class or another student, explain that you will get to them but only when you are finished helping the current student/lesson. Redirection and explanations of expectations (behavior-wise and lesson-wise) will give them the reminder of what they can do or look for before asking for help and interrupting.

Comments: Redirections and explanations seem like the best way to go about it. There are methods that subs are not taught that they should be.
