Walk away 3 times

This is a paper given to me by a cooperating teacher in my same grade.  If as student is unwilling to comply with directions, here is one approach you can try.

1. Blake, please____________. (Walk away as if you expect him to do it.)
(Wait 10-20 seconds)
2. Blake, I need you to____________. (Walk away as if you expect him to do it.)
(Wait 10-20 seconds)
3. Blake, just now when I asked you to____________, you_____________.  When a teacher gives you a direction you need to
              a. Look at the person
              b. Say O.K.
              c. Do what you are told right away
 Blake,_____________. (Walk away as if you expect him to do it.)
(Wait 10-20 seconds)
4. Blake, just now when I asked you to_____________, you did not follow directions, you have chosen to be removed form class.  I'm sorry you chose to do this, we will miss you.

This approach gives the student the choice.  Then if he still chooses not to follow directions he knows that the consequences are his own choice.  I think it also helps teachers to have an approach in order to stay level headed when working with difficult behavior.
