Helpful Tips
Explicitly teach, prompt, & reinforce the behavior you most want to see from your students. (Punitive approaches are among our least effective methods for improving student behavior, but instruction is powerful!)
Effective behavior instruction includes modeling, guided practice, independent practice along with feedback (especially positive feedback).
It’s worth spending time developing and implementing a clear, comprehensive plan that includes essential classroom management strategies.
You get more of what you pay the most attention to, so focus primarily on appropriate behavior.
Challenging behavior can be stressful and difficult, so reflecting on co-regulation strategies can be helpful for both yourself and your students
