Disruptive

Strategy 3: Ignore

With students not posing a danger to others, ignore their behaviors and continue instruction without stopping or giving them any special attention
Students may intensify their efforts to get your attention at first when you begin to ignore them, therefore, do not give up too easily with this intervention, rather, outlast the student
When student does something positive, correct, or on task, praise them and give them attention
Find other ways to give the disruptive student attention and praise for correct behaviors
Make a point to praise other students in the class who are exhibiting on task and correct behaviors, including what they are doing right in the praise, for example:

“Good job Cayden for staying seated throughout the lesson” or

“You were very quiet and listened to the directions very well John”
