Strategies

Start class off right with a smiling and welcoming attitude. (Fist Bump, Elbow Bump, Finger Point, Let's get it started!!!, Clap within a one/one one/two, foot stomp) Be excited about being around others!!!

Keep noise down during independent work times.

Create smooth transitions.

Don’t let complaining derail you!!!

Reduce arguments.

Hold students responsible for class work.

Don’t accuse when you don’t know. (Know facts before assuming)

Wisely handle defiance. Keep teaching and encourage participation.

Crush it with a large-sized class.
