At the end of class or during a lull in the day, pull the student aside and discuss with the student what is going on and why it is not okay. Try writing up a behavior contract with the student, if they are not showing signs of change after the discussion. Being that the child is doing it for attention, you could always move the student up close to the teacher and give the student more attention.

in order to not be disruptive yourself, I would wait until a break in class to confront him about his behavior and remind him that everyone is here to learn and needs the opportunity to show what they know not just him. I would also seat him closer to the teacher and if he is craving attention maybe give him a classroom job to do to give him purpose.

This student clearly has some sort of behavioral issue that needs to be addressed. There could be something going on at home that is causing them to act out. I think maybe speaking with them after class about why they feel the need to act this way could be useful. If this doesn't help maybe a parent-teacher conference would be best.

You could ignore the behavior when the student does this and then talk to them about it privately. Let them know they need to work on it and that if they can, then they will be able to help you with something, that way they can get attention and work on not calling out.

There may be something going on in that student's life that you may not know. He may be craving attention. Moreover, in his mind, negative attention is better than no attention. If you have established a rapport with him, discuss it with him one day. Let him know you care and that you are there for him.

Removing the attention given to the student either by not calling on them or acknowledging them may help, as they will not be getting the expected feedback a teacher may typically give, such as "Stop calling out." Or you could try redirection, and say "I like that you are actively participating, will you raise your hand so I can call on you."

I absolutely love what everyone else had to say. I have this same problem with my students at school. Usually before EVERY (yes every...) question I ask, I say "please raise your hand NOT your voices..." then ask my question. This reminds the student EVERY time what the expectations are without singling the out the student. This usually proves very successful. Even making eye contact with them while you say it adds that extra emphasis that they will not call out the answer. If this continues, perhaps have the student "take a break" and move to another part of the classroom for 3 or 5 min, away from others so he will not get the attention he is seeking. Ignoring his "junk behavior" as I call it, and praising those who are giving desired behavior also works great!

This is when the teacher becomes the therapist or request that the student sees a counselor. Take time to talk one-on-one with the student and find out if there is something bothering him.

If it a short interruption, I would ignore it. Feed the stray dog, and it will come back for more food. If you continue to I've this child negative attention by addressing every tiny outburst, they are going to continue to do so in order to get a reaction. If it is not disrupting the entire class or escalating by involving other peers, I would try to ignore it and carryon with your lesson. If it is disruptive, you could try to move closer to the student as you are containing to teach so they are receiving more attention through you. Then, have a private conversation after class.

I would try using a reward system. ClassDojo is one that i've seen be used in class and students really enjoy it. You can give points to students who are showing positive behavior and take away points to students who have been redirected multiple times. If not maybe try talking to the student at a time where class is busy with something to let them know that that behavior is not appropriate

This behavior needs to be taken care of as soon as possible. This could escalate to worse behavior. Getting the parents involved is definitely an option if the child doesn't respond to talking to him individually.

It is important to reiterate the classroom expectations at the beginning of lessons. If the student is not following those directions then at any opportunity for the students to answer, I would say right after the question to "keep the answers in your brain". If this still does not work, then I would have a one on one conversation with the student about the expectations.

Clearly the student does not care that calling out bothers the teacher so consequences need to be presented and acted upon. Taking away possibly groups time or computers or something that the student does enjoy participating in and possibly a call home. It sounds like the student is dying for attention and calling out is not how that happens. Speak to the student directly then be firm in removing rewards.

After the class is over have the student sit with you and call home. Allow them to have to talk to their parent and explain that they are choosing to not listen and be disrespectful and that they will have recess taken away/ free time or any other rewarding activity. The student wants attention and while it is okay to communicate It needs to be done respectfully and correctly or not at all.

In this situation, what I would first try is ignoring it completely and picking students to answer questions that have their hands up, even if the one students is yelling out the answer. I would then speak to the student privately letting them know that you can only listen to them when they raise their hand and that you wish you could listen to them because she or he knows a lot of the answers.

I would ignore the behavior and try and get the students to ignore the behavior as well. Once they realize they are not getting attention the behavior might stop

I have to admit, exaggerating is sometimes great when working with students like this. I like to make a bug deal about the other students who are being super focused and in control. This is especially for the ones close to the student who doesn't listen. I also like to offer an abundance of praise to the off-task student when he or she does any little thing right. This gives them the positive attention they crave and hopefully curves their appetite for calling out.

hello, i propose that you ignore the student completely.
