  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 would attempt to redirect or ignore the actions as much as possible so you are not feeding into the students desire to get attention. I would also have a conversation with the student outside of class time to reset the expectations for disruptions in class.
