    Video Transcript

    "Another thing that sometimes works with disruptive behavior students, is to put them in groups. Have students work in groups, and if you have a cluster of students who tend to be disruptive, you definitely do not want them working together, or maybe you definitely do, and I'll tell you the two reasons why. If you split them up, and you've assigned groups around the classroom, and you've split the disruptive students up. Those students have to have some accountability, in their new group. The new group members who are not their little buddies in the class, will encourage them to participate. Encourage them not to be disruptive. Encourage them to do good work, because that's the standard of the group, or you can take a different tactic, and you can let all the disruptive students work together, and if there's a time limit on the activity, nine times out of ten, they won't make it, so every other group gets an A, because they were doing their work, and the disruptive group gets a D, because they weren't prepared, and so that is always an option, is to place them into groups."
