  Case: class distraction
I once had a student who was a constant distraction to the class. He would always sit in the back and not pay attention and refuse to do his work while making noises to distract the other students. He would sometimes throw paper balls while I was teaching. No matter how many times I sent him out or gave him consequences, nothing seemed to affect him. He was at risk of failing the third grade and having to repeat it because he would not do any work? what are some things I could do with this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have found that a great way to motivate students to complete their work is to involve them in class. In the past, I have asked students to help us with a question. I gave them a heads up that we (the class) will need their help on the next question to give them a chance to prep, and then had them help solve a question. Also, using their name in a word problem or giving positive praise for something they did to the rest of the class can help increase motivation.
