Classroom Management: Engage Disruptive Students

Video Transcript

Another tactic for disruptive, dealing with disruptive behavior, is when it is happening, immediately engage the student, and a student is talking to another student, or a student is text messaging on their phone. I'm lecturing. I'm talking, and I immediately say, "Tom, what's your take on that?" Ah, well has Tom been listening? Um maybe, maybe not, but try to get them back engaged in the conversation, especially when we're talking about cell phones. Something that I tend to do when students are texting, is I go take their phone, and I reply back to the person who they're texting to, and I inform them that Tom is in class, and he'll have to talk to him later, and that will stop Tom from being on the text messaging, on the cell phone, and that will get him engaged back into the lesson, or what we're talking about, and that's real important. What is it that you can do to get the student back involved in the class, in the lecture, in the activity?
