(13.2) Consider a student who is disruptively talking to a neighbor while you are teaching. Develop and list a full continuum of responses for dealing with the unproductive learning behavior.
In general, my students would be aware of my policies about disruptive behavior from the beginning of the school year. I would allow students to help me make rules to follow and understand the importance of being well-behaved in a classroom setting. So when a student who already knew the rules of the classroom was misbehaving I would:
1. Address the student immediately as the behavior takes place and let them not it is unacceptable.
2. If behavior persists, I would use "cueing" which doesn't stop the lesson or distract other students but lets the student know I am noticing the misbehavior and they should stop.
3. If a reoccurring problem was apparent in the classroom I would discuss the problem with the student privately.
4. If necessary I would contact parents.
5. Ormrod gives helpful advice on when to ignore misbehavior. (pgs. 485-486)
