Token Economy Systems
Break Area/Safe Place
model desired behavior
Have a structured classroom. This includes a clear daily schedule.
Be direct and assertive but this can be done kindly.
Offer Praise for good behavior.
Don't punish the class. Be mindful of problematic behavior. Ask for help to decrease it. Student keeps talking simply ask " Do you have a question?" not " Stop talking."
Talk to students. Get to know them. Figure out how they learn and what they like and don't like.
Don't threaten a student with a consequence you can't follow thru on.
