Try focusing all the questions on the disruptive students.

Just the basics...
You have to have a PLAN going in, and verbalize that plan to the students. There have to be positive and negative consequences.
You have to ACT, not react.
You have to PRAY, and ask God to help you control your temper. NEVER EVER EVER lose your temper of get angry. At that point, NOTHING good will happen.
I have been teaching for several years - so any book I read in college is probably an antique now! But - do an Amazon search for some popular classroom discipline texts, ask about district workshops, or seek the advice of fellow "veteran" teachers. Not "what should I do?" but "What do YOU do?" Be willing to be MENTORED.
You didn't tell me the age of your students. I have worked with Pre-K - college, and had "attempted" disruptions at all levels. Obviously, different ages require different strategies.
But - across the board, you have to accept the responsibility that you are in control from day one. From my experience, most students WANT a teacher who is in control - they just have different ways of expressing it.
Remember - have a plan - positive and negative consequences. Be patient. Take control. Never get angry.
Hope that helps.
