Its very clear to Mrs. Davis that the student has gotten away with these behaviors in her previous school. How can we handle this new student away from the classroom and the other students? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Positive praise! When the student is calling out the teacher can say, "I'm looking for someone with a quiet hand," and then pick a student who is exhibiting that behavior. The misbehavior of calling out needs to be ignored. It would be a good idea to pull the new student aside and discuss these behaviors one on one so the student understands what is expected of them.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with the positive praise.

This way you are not scolding the new student, but instead teaching them through example.
