I've found that setting clear expectations and building positive relationships with my students helps to minimize disruptions and keep them engaged. One strategy that works for me is to start each lesson with a quick 'check-in' activity, like a thought-provoking question or a fun icebreaker, to get students focused and invested in the learning process. Additionally, I make sure to provide choices and allow students to take ownership of their learning, which helps to increase motivation and participation.
