Principles of Strengthening and Maintaining Appropriate Behavior

Setting clear expectations and rules helps students understand what is expected of them and minimizes opportunities for misbehavior.
Fair and consistent consequences ensure students know that misbehavior will have consequences and helps prevent feelings of being singled out.
When a student makes a mistake, use positive words or redirection, avoid embarrassing them, and focus on what you want them to do instead of what not to do.
Avoid raising your voice as much as possible and use positive reinforcement.

Developing Positive Teacher-Student Relationships

Students are more likely to behave and enjoy class when they have a positive relationship with their teacher.
Students want to be liked by their teachers, and a positive relationship can influence them to behave better, listen, learn, and trust their teacher.

Maintaining Routines

Establishing consistent routines helps students stay in a flow of behavior, expectations, and actions.
Routines provide structure and prevent confusion and chaos, which can lead to behavioral issues.

Setting the Example of Appropriate Behavior

Teachers must model appropriate social skills and behavior, as students are influenced by what they see and hear.
Teachers' actions, such as yelling, cursing, or aggression, can be seen as acceptable behavior by students.
Teachers should set examples of respectful behavior, such as sharing, communicating, and working together peacefully.
