Disruptive behavior in educational settings interferes with teaching and learning, including threats, loud noises, late arrivals, and aggressive conduct. Professors can mitigate such behaviors by outlining expectations in the syllabus, discussing disruptive behaviors upfront, and modeling appropriate conduct. Solutions for managing disruption include addressing the behavior directly, private discussions, and potential disciplinary actions if issues persist.

1. What are some examples of disruptive behavior?
By the CCBC Code of Conduct, states that disruptive behavior is when someone engages in
disorderly or disruptive behavior on campus or during college-sponsored activities that
interfere with the activities of others such as teaching, studying research, or college
administration.
Some examples of disruptive behavior
● Threats to harm or threatens verbally or physically
● Distracting and loud noises
● Answering mobile phones or making electronic devices beep
● Exhibiting erratic, irrational behavior
● Speaking on the phone without recognition
● Room entrance and exit is out of permission
● Engaging in a way that disrupts a class or administration procedure
What can professors do to prevent disruptions?
The primary responsibility for implementing strategies to tackle disruptive behavior in the
classroom lies with the teachers.
There are a few steps that faculty members can do:
Include expectations and norms of behavior in the syllabus of the course.
Discuss the definition of disruptive classroom behavior during the very first meeting with the
group.
Display the behavior you would expect from your students.
Let's first look at what constitutes "disruptive behaviour." In many cases, in the classroom,
children can be disruptive because of:
● Lately arriving: Often, when students arrive late, teachers’ behavior to call off the class
to discuss or accommodate the student who has arrived late. Since this can delay and
stop the teaching time, it's also viewed as disruptive behaviour.
Let's look at some of the common reasons for disruptive behavior, as well as what can you do
to solve the issue:
● Disinterested, bored, or indifferent Behavior Disorder
What number of times have you had your child tell you, "I'm Bored!". It's typical when it comes
to the class. Children should be actively engaged in their studies! If your child is not enjoying
themselves in class, It could be because they are bored of the particular teaching method or
subject, or perhaps they already know the concepts being taught and aren't keen to go over the
same topic again.
If your child has advanced in their academics beyond the year level, you may need extra tuition
to assist your child's academic reach and keep their minds active.
● Confusion or lost
Another cause of disruptive behavior is confusion. It happens when your child cannot grasp
the explanations, or the demonstrations given by the teacher and isn't sure what's expected of
them the next time around. If they're not certain or want an opinion from a different source, get
advice from an outside source. Lynn's learning can provide a free initial assessment that allows
you to discover the areas of your child's learning before you enroll.

2. ● Resentful / Angry aggressive behavior
It's not as often noticed. However, it can cause children to be disruptive or even stop them from
doing their work (where they become shyer and do not want to voice their opinions or ideas).
It is typically caused by children believing that teachers are one of their "favourites" in the
classroom and feeling that they are not being asked to express their opinions and aren't
considered important.
Method for dealing with disruptive behavior within the school
Make a statement about disruptive behavior. General comments to all students. You can also
follow up with the student privately after class.
Request that the student ends the disruptive behavior. Inform them that any additional
disruption could cause disciplinary action.
If the student continues to disrupt the class, then ask the student to leave the classroom for the
duration of the class time and meet with you before coming back. At this point, inform the
Department Chairperson/Coordinator and Student Conduct Advocate that their assistance may
be requested.
