By "boundaries" do you mean limits, expectations, and rules?

If so, when working with small groups I assign specific tasks within each group.

For example, when I taught 4th grade (10 year olds), I organized students into groups of three. Each group included a leader, recorder, and getter. The getter got (and returned) supplies. The recorder took notes and shared what the group learned with other groups after the activity. The leader made sure that everyone had an opportunity to have a hands-on experience with the activity in question.

As a culinary arts chef instructor, I more or less follow the same technique. The difference is that I follow a modified brigade system. Students are organized into shifts. During shift production when our student operated restaurant is open, one student is on the grill. One or more are line cooks. At least one is a cashier. One more is a counter server.

Is this what you were looking for?

If not, could you be more specific?

by NVQ do you mean National Vocational Qualification course? What is this, I can't find information on it, other than it's British. I'm assuming this is post-secondary (high school) education right? are they paying a tuition to attend? if so, I would ask a few of the top detractors to stay behind after class and inform them that:

A) They are paying to be there
B) Every other student has paid too
C) Their distractions are hindering others learning
D) If it continues, they will be permanently removed

If it's given that way, they might calm down. you're a TA? have you talked to your supervising prof? (s)he may be able to help better.

Let me know how that worked.
-Good Luck

Thank you for clarifying this.

What boundaries do we have professionally?

1) Students address me as "Chef" or "Mister ----." They may not use my familiar name.

2) I never discuss my personal life with my students. I most certainly NEVER discuss any personal problems I might have with the students.

3) I have an office that is separate from the classroom. The office is my private area. Students must knock on the door and ask for permission to enter. The contents of my desk, file cabinet, and closet are OFF LIMITS to students.

4) Although I do not expect my students to raise their hands if they need to speak, I do expect them to allow me to finish speaking. I do not tolerate interruptions.

5) Students are expected to follow directions. The appropriate response to having received a direction is, "Yes Chef." Students who do not understand the directions they are given are expected to ask for clarification.

6) I do not touch my students. I expect them to keep their hands off me.
