2. Developing and teaching classroom routines
Most students excel when they are in a set daily routine. This also helps keep track of where things go, where they can be found, and gives a sense of comfort. Routines can be used as a Tier 1 strategy by any level of student. Consider routines for how to turn in work, how to pass out materials, how to make up for missed work, and what to do when finishing an assignment.

A calming corner is a quiet area of your classroom where students can go to reset from negative behaviors or emotions. It’s important to remember that a calming corner is neither a punishment nor a time-out. This is a positive place in the classroom that supports students when they need quiet and calm. This can be used as a Tier 2 strategy by any level of student.
4. Use positive redirection
4. Use positive redirection
Redirection is a very effective PBIS strategy to regain a student’s attention, but only if it is implemented correctly. The more respectful and general the redirection is, the more likely students will respond positively. For example, instead of saying, "I'm not calling on you becuase you didnt raise your hand." You could compliment another student for following instructions, "Hannah, I liked that you raised your hand to answer the question." This can be used for Tier 1 strategies.

When students are not meeting behavioral expectations and logical consequences have been given, teachers should then initiate a restorative conversation. This will work in a statement such as: "When you decide to complete your work, then you may return to your seat and join the class." This strategy can be used for Tier 3 for any level of student.
