I deal with distractions by staying calm and addressing them quickly but quietly so learning is not disrupted further. I refocus attention by reminding the group of expectations and bringing the discussion back to the task. If needed, I speak to individuals privately rather than calling them out in front of others. I also try to keep sessions engaging and interactive to reduce the likelihood of distractions in the first place.
