An administrator’s strategy for calming disruptive students is to first identify the causes of the disruption and then create a plan of action that will address the root cause. In order to do this, the administrator must understand the student’s individual behavior and what triggers their disruptive behavior. Once the administrator understands the root cause of the disruption, they can develop a plan of action that will help the student calm down and stay in class.
Some common causes of disruption in classes are distraction, boredom, and anger. Distraction can be caused by things like talking out of turn, chewing gum, or fidgeting. Boredom can be caused by the teacher being too slow in presenting information, students not participating, or homework that is too difficult. Anger can be caused by frustration over a lack of understanding, not getting their own way, or feeling left out.
Administrators can help to calm disruptive students by addressing the root cause of the disruption. This can be done by providing more engaging instruction, providing more opportunities to participate in class, or providing more support during class. By addressing the root cause of the disruption, administrators can help to keep the class on track and prevent disruptive behavior from occurring in the future.
