Principle 2: EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
Managing Student Behaviors
Rationale: When teachers provide the opportunity to teach skills and reinforce behaviors spontaneously in the moment, it saves instructional time, minimizes distractions and behaviors, improves attention and focus, keeps the class on track, and can be done at any point of a lesson or activity.
Description: These opportunities prepare a child for something coming up, teach the behavior that is expected, reinforce a child who is engaging in appropriate behavior, re-teach a child who is choosing an inappropriate behavior, or support a child who is struggling to control his or her emotions.
