When a student is being extremely disruptive, it is best to focus the other students’ attention on their tasks and then talk privately with the disruptive student.

Ratcliff et al. (2010) suggest that when dealing with disruptive student behavior in the classroom teachers should observe students to see that directives are being followed; they should remain calm and confident; and they should avoid confrontations in front of the class where threatening comments are used. Finally, to avoid retreating, teachers should wait for students to comply before continuing with any activity.

Ignore minor disruptive behavior, this strategy also may suggest you are not aware of the misbehavior or that you do not care about the behavior. The best thing to do before it gets out of hand is to praise other students for appropriate behavior.

Make some form of nonverbal contact

Use proximity control, either move closer to a disruptive student or have them move closer to you

Call on the student, if they aren’t paying attention then they may feel embarrassed when they don’t know what’s going on in the class.

Praise a student who is positively engaged. If you choose a well-behaved student close to the misbehaving student, it may help redirect that student. Praise the off-task student as soon as they begin doing what they are supposed to.

Involve the student by using his or her name in a story or question.

When interacting with the student, make sure your nonverbal behavior is supportive and nonthreatening. Be sure to keep a calm voice, speak quietly and slowly, be respectful, do not get too close to the student, and do not use gestures that might intimidate the student such as pointing or extending an arm.

Communicate sincere empathy for the student. This involves sharing concern for a problem the student is experiencing.

The disturbance of the teacher’s intervention should not be greater than the disruption it is intended to reduce; a disturbance already takes up valuable class time. You may need to implement your classroom discipline plan that has been taught to all students.

An inappropriately angry teacher response creates tension and increases disobedience and disruptive behavior. Firmness can have a positive effect on classroom behavior, it should be associated with teacher warmth, politeness, and explanations. With this being said, remain calm.

Take responsibility for statements by using I-messages. Students who experience consistent or serious behavior problems are often deficient in social cognition skills. For example, they may not understand why a teacher is bothered by their talking out or why, despite their aggressive or rude behavior.

Decide whether it is necessary to become engaged in the situation.

If your knowledge of the students indicates a response in front of peers might escalate the situation, ask the student if the two of you could talk about this privately, and provide the class with an academic task.
