  Case: New student
Mrs. Davis received a new student in the middle of the year. This young lady calls out and can not stay in her seat. 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!)
I think having a one on one with the student would be a good start. Explain to the student that their enthusiasm is appreciated but that there are certain rules at this school that she needs to follow. Secondly, it would be a good idea to give her preferential seating where gentle non-verbal reminders can be given to her often to help keep her on track. This preferential seating assignment would be even better if there were students near by who always followed the rules and would serve as good models for her to learn from.
