Classroom behavior management can be a constant challenge for classroom teachers. It is common for students to misbehave in the classroom. Student misbehaviors can be disruptive talking, defiance, and clowning around just to name a few. When students misbehave in the classroom, teachers spend a great deal of time redirecting. These behaviors interrupt instruction and effect the learning of other students. Every teacher should have classroom behavior management strategies in order to prevent and/or limit student misbehaviors. Maintaining a structured environment and sticking to a schedule is an example of a classroom behavior management strategy. When the students know the schedule for the day, they are more likely to be prepared for the tasks ahead.
Please post any classroom behavior management strategies that you think would be helpful in the classroom.
