Utilize SCM if needed.
Attention Seeking Behavior
Do not engage.
Say
“If you want to leave this room, I need you to follow my directions. Sit down in the back of the room.”
“If you want to leave, you can show me you’re ready by having a seat in the back of the room.”
Timer
Set timer (2-10 minutes)
Say
“I noticed you’re sitting in the back of the room. I’m going to start a timer. When the time is up, we will have a conversation before returning to class. Are you ready?”
Prime the student that if they get up, leave the back of the room or don’t follow your directions the timer will reset. Offer them one reminder and then follow through with resetting the timer if they are not compliant.
