It really depends on the context, but a few things to remember are to never lose your cool or be mean (that can easily turn other students against you), be fair but stern (give him increasingly serious warnings that he will face consequences if he isn't reasonable and if he keeps it up, punish him), don't give him any more attention than he needs (most of the time they just want vindication or attention. Sometimes, they have become stuck as a malcontent because they acted out when they were stressed, and are now stuck with that reputation. It's not an excuse for their behavior, but it means they need positive reinforcement whenever they do something good)
I was very shy student (but well liked by teachers for being interested in their lessons and being courteous), but for some reason, some of the class jackasses hung around me. I eventually learned that most of the ones that hung around me were actually pretty good kids. But because they were bad as little kids, they got the reputation as a troublemaker. I learned that it is damn near impossible to shed that label. Teachers are so sick of being abused that they don't even think about how to fix troublemakers; they just deal with them by being mean in return and reinforcing in the student body that this troublemaker is just a bad kid. But if you give genuine positive reinforcement when they do things right, and stern but not mean negative reinforcement when they do things wrong, you can make a real difference. Especially if you show an interest in the student and his well-being.
let them know you don't really care about anything as long as they are in their seats and quiet.
2. Write up/kick out as many kids as you have to while you are in the class
3. Keep in mind, they are generally happy their teacher is not there so as long as you don't prove them otherwise
4. Don't try to force them to do work, its their grade not yours
5. Don't let them start destroying the room
6. Talk to kids about their teacher and what the class is like
7. Tell them you will help them with their work if they need it.
8. be witty
basically its all about your demeanor- I threatened to beat a kid and lose the chance to come back and do this crappy job just for the satisfaction of watching them cry in front of their friends and the entire class was quiet for the rest of the time

well im a student i have the best tech teacher, shes quite young, you want to laugh about but encourage them to do work
don't say if u don't do it you will get a detention
say hey guys we have some time to get this done, hurry up u get time to relax in a bit
i hate teachers that don't do anything but also don't be overpowering
to control then you need to get on their good side, and also make sure they get all the work done
first you get into class in a cold way .... like a principal
then say hi and little by little loosen up a bit ... smile and so but don't joke until you are sure they respect you and feel safe around you
