Okay, here's a response to a theoretical "Steps" question, tailored for a 23-year-old teacher, assuming the context relates to classroom management or lesson planning:

**Question:** Briefly outline the steps you'd take to address disruptive behavior in your classroom.

**Answer:**

1.  **Prevention:** Implement clear classroom rules and expectations from day one, reinforced consistently. This includes proactive strategies like positive reinforcement for good behavior.

2.  **Non-Verbal Cues:** Employ strategies like proximity control or a simple gesture to redirect minor disruptions.

3.  **Verbal Redirection:** Privately and respectfully address the student, reminding them of the expected behavior.

4.  **Consequence Implementation:** If the behavior persists, apply pre-determined consequences fairly and consistently, as outlined in the classroom management plan.

5.  **Documentation and Communication:** Document the incident and, if necessary, communicate with parents/guardians or relevant school support staff (e.g., counselor, administrator) to develop a collaborative support plan.
