Two case studies on disruptive behavior:
The Chatterers:
:explode: Chatty Cathy and Conversation Carl are talking openly and loudly during class.
The case study is for a college lecture, but is relevant for middle school as well. My experience for this case study is with middle school students.
Tier 1 Intervention:
Non-verbal cues
https://www.pbisworld.com/tier-1/non-verbal-cues/
Data tracking tool used: NA
Steps for successful non-verbal cues include:
use simple positive and negative cues
practice with students so they understand the cues
:check: Non-verbal Cues worked.
:explode: Non-verbal Cues did not work. After a few moments the students were chatting again, only quietly.
Tier 1 Intervention: Speak in a calm and neutral tone.
https://www.pbisworld.com/tier-1/speak-in-calm-and-neutral-tone/
Data tracking tool used: behavior documentation
Steps for successful speak in calm and neutral tone include:
be patient.
be aware of your own physiological cues and don't lose your temper.
make "I" or "we" statements for how you and the class would like them to behave.
do not make threats or have a threatening posture
speak calmly but directly.
:check: Speak in a calm and neutral tone worked.
:explode: Speak in a calm neutral tone did not work. The students continued to talk.
Additional tier 1 interventions:
moved to a new location
take away privileges
call or note to parent
remove from room
office referral

There are many ways to handle speaking out of turn in class with tier 1 interventions. If the problem is persistent and continues through multiple classes then tier 2 interventions may be required.

this is a broad area, so choose which social skills are relevant to the class.
