A 1 gum on the playground vs attendance issue... ask her to spit it out... kiddo at school more important than gum! #wvedchat

A1: Ask them to spit it out. First offense, probably talk with him/her...repeat offender? Reverse detention with me. #wvedchat

VandyMurphy Mar 7 @ 8:11 PM EST

A 2 non confrontational strategy... proximity ... eye contact... quiet cue...#wvedchat

A2: #wvedchat Proximity… Ask the student a question about the lesson to change his focus. Talk to him privately after class.

ReadingCindy Mar 7 @ 8:11 PM EST

A2 Seriously, I usually just sit, wait, stare if it's off topic. Good stuff - I share the mic or screen #wvedchat

A2: #wvedchat Sometimes the “teacher look” will do the trick. Takes practice though :)

DrHSutherland Mar 7 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2 I also would say "I have so much planned for today so we can get through it now or it can be homework" #wvedchat

AmberoniNCheese Mar 7 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2: Put talking to good use. Pull the kiddo into the conversation. Give the kids a "turn and talk" moment and go join in. Redirect #wvedchat

A3 Talk, talk, talk with that student, his family, etc. One chat, one phone call won't do it. Daily conferring is what works. #wvedchat

A4: I let them see that I saw them, give them a look, they put it away and we move on. Not a battle worth fighting. #wvedchat

A6 - student initiative is important, could have been a bad day, bad test, flexibiity is valuable #wvedchat

A7: Document. Don't ask questions yet. Keep an eye on him/her. Use the relationship to find out what's up if it happens again. #wvedchat

ReadingCindy Mar 7 @ 8:38 PM EST

A7 Encourage them, thank them #wvedchat

litreader Mar 7 @ 8:38 PM EST

A7 Thank goodness! Maybe we've connected! But to be sure, I'd follow up and ask him what changed, and tell him I was impressed! #wvedchat

A7: You notice and make sure he knows you noticed. Build relationships. Care. Tell him you love the improvement & him! ❤ #wvedchat

TheMrDevizzle Mar 7 @ 8:38 PM EST

A7 Still take note. Extremes have underlying influences. Either good or bad. Commend but still take note. Communicate with S #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Mar 7 @ 8:39 PM EST

A7 think that maybe he is feeling better or that something at home is going better; make not talk later to S #wvedchat

MrsCatlettCares Mar 7 @ 8:39 PM EST

Q7. My response would depend if student is extroverted or introverted. Either public praise or Post it note with positive message #wvedchat

MsRuddle Mar 7 @ 8:39 PM EST

A7: #wvedchat Thank him for his attention when he leaves. Greet him with a smile the next day and keep on keeping on.

A7 reminds me of a chronic absent student - everyday I tell her I am so glad she is at school! #wvedchat

A7 I tell her everyday and that she's going to miss me at high school. 1 day she said "I know" 😊😊😊 #wvedchat

A8: #wvedchat My own kid was one of these talkers. He is a teacher now. #karma

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 7 @ 8:47 PM EST

#wvedchat A8 I've got to drop my plans, find him at lunch, before he gets on bus, after he gets off bus nxt morn. 2x5 strategy n full force!

MsRuddle Mar 7 @ 8:47 PM EST

A8: #wvedchat Interesting that we spend so much time with the talkers, but sometimes ignore the ones who never speak. I worry abt them too.

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 7 @ 8:48 PM EST

Oops A9 praise him, tell someone else, give him a blue ticket reserved for those who go above and beyond #wvedchat

MsRuddle Mar 7 @ 8:51 PM EST
