Disruptive Student Behavior

Proximity Control or Change Student Seats
I always like to move closer to the disruptive student and continue the lesson. Maybe gently put your hand on their desk or shoulder/head without saying anything to the student. This will often get the message across to the offender.
You could also move the student so that he/she sits closer to the teacher and place him/her next to someone who is quiet. Redoing the seating chart could achieve the same result.

    No Threats or Warnings:
    I believe in not giving multiple warnings or threats. My philosophy is to teach children the very first day what my expectations are and the consequences of the students choices, whether they be positive or negative. I just feel that if students know they have ten chances they will disrupt ten times before they will stop; but if they know what happens the first time they will be more respectful of you and their peers.

    When dealing with a very obstinate and disruptive student I try to give them a choice of doing either A or B. I make these choices ones that are both choices that allow the student to feel they have some control, but, they are both things that have to be done also. Such as, I am very sorry you are having such a bad day today, but your peers really need to finish their work. Would you like to finish yours at your seat or at the back table. I would then walk away and let them decide what they would like to do. By telling them what they are going to do, it will just end up being a power struggle where neither teacher or student wins.
