I responded that positive reinforcement was key. If possible and if the student is goig something distracting and disrespectful, to take the student aside and leveling with them had proven to be rewarding in my experience. I then mentioned that from any of my mentoring experience, acting out stems from a building up of events and emotion---and empathizing with the problematic student is important.

I start off the year by making students aware of class rules, consequences and poste them on board and have reward to incentivize good behavior Consequences: 1. verbal warning 2. move away from distraction 3. time out 4. lose priviledge, talk to parent, site supervisor, behavior plan last year one girl was clowning around during a game which was making other students focus on her and not the activity so I had her sit out the rest of the game and told her why. When she rejoined class during new game her behavior improved. There was a new student in the class and I assigned him one seat and he was disrupting other student in that table so I moved him to a new table and told him if he continued I would have to report him to site director. His behavior improved with the new seating
