Classroom Management Part 2

Even the best run classroom will inevitably give rise to the occasional behavior problem. If it is one student causing the problem and it's relatively minor, I would pose a short discussion question about the material from that day to the class and have them talk about it in small groups, and then, as discretely as possible, talk to the problem student one-on-one and tell them that I need them to stop whatever the problem behavior was. At this stage, I won't make threats or talk about consequences. By keeping it individual, I won't interrupt the flow of the class and give opportunity for further distractions.
