  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 am currently dealing with students like this as well. I find that with incentives like playground time or giving them extra work that they are interested in (for example if a student loves to read, you can ask them when they are done with their work to read a paragraph in their book and write down key ideas). These students are often just bored or do not get the attention they desire at home so I try to give them that attention or activity so they feel heard and they disrupt class less.

Comments: Giving students extra work as redirection is a good idea, it is academic and also gives them a challenge.
