Proactive Guidance

Proactive guidance, according to Louis Denti in Proactive Classroom Management, is a “conscientious effort on the part of teachers to provide a classroom environment that allows students to be themselves, take risks, learn from mistakes, and understand how to take responsibility for their actions and feelings."
