5 tips for general classroom behavior management
Use these tips to help you get started and create a management plan that benefits
you and your students:

1. Prepare for your classes

Effective preparation for your school day involves more than instructional
planning. Ensure the availability and working status of all materials you plan to use
in person or online. Planning your steps iand preparing backup plans in case of
problems to help avoid potential disruptions from students finished with their
work.

2. Start by building relationships

At the start of each school year, welcome students to your classroom and engage
with them in the day’s first activities. Show them you want to build relationships
with them and look forward to working with them. Once they realize you are
invested in them as individuals, they may be more respectful and accountable for
their behavior. Always model the behaviors you want the students to display and if
you make a mistake, admit it to your students. This may help you earn their
respect.

3. Have a behavior management plan for your classroom

Your classroom culture influences your students' behavior. It is best to nurture and
guide students rather than focus on disciplining them. Consider incorporating
these components into your classroom behavior management plan:

 Establish rules: Set four to five primary rules for your students and
state them in a positive tone. Instead of saying “no running,” choose
to say “always walk in the hallways." Explain to your students why
there are rules and discuss them with students to make them feel
included in the classroom community.
 Create consequences: Decide what happens when a student
breaks the rules and explain them to your class. Consequences may
 depend on the school and grade level but could include detention,
time-outs or loss of privileges.
 Be consistent: Apply the rules uniformly and fairly to all students. It
is good practice to correct errors as you see them, giving
immediate instructions or guidance on how to correct misbehavior.
 Form routines: Besides maximizing the efficiency of your daily
schedule, students enjoy following a daily routine and knowing
what is expected of them. You can also give your students guidance
on fixed classroom routines such as turning in assignments or
asking to go to the bathroom.

4. Minimize disruptions to learning

Use seat assignments to avoid chatting and classroom disruption. Keep students
focused on their activities with cues and reminders if someone enters the
classroom during a lesson or the school broadcasts announcements. Have a
specific sound or motion, such as a rain stick or a group hand signal, to signal
students that it's time to quiet a noisy classroom.Related: Expectancy Theory of

5. Give simple instructions

Make sure that the students understand your instructions about an activity.
Anticipate any difficulties and address this in advance. Plan for additional activities
for students who work faster than the rest to prevent them from becoming bored
or disruptive. It's helpful to move around your classroom to interact, check on
students' progress and answer questions as you walk past their desks.

5 tips for classroom behavior management

strategies
Consider trying these methods of positive behavior management:

1. Create a class identity

When the school year starts, decorate your room with a chosen theme or choose a
class name with the students. Creating a class identity is a great way to build
community and investment. You can give ideas and then ask them to suggest a
name or theme like superheroes or dinosaurs. This theme can provide you with an
organized set of prompts for behavior management. For example, if your class is
the superhero class, you can remind them to use their ultra-listening ears or
gather in groups for superpower training.

2. Praise positive behavior

Acknowledging good behavior is more effective than disciplining or punishing

students who are behaving negatively. Praise the behavior you want to reinforce.
For example, “Outstanding work in getting to your seats quickly” encourages settling
down quickly. Make a habit of demonstrating behavior you want to see such as:

 Using polite language

 Maintaining eye contact
 Letting others speak without interruption

3. Use reward systems

If your school does not have a system in place, create a way to reward good
behavior in individuals, groups and entire classes. Use a system that transparently
notes and tracks individual behaviors, positive and negative, and has attainable
goals and rewards. Explain to the students how they can track their behavior
progress and motivate them to work toward the rewards. Fun rewards like erasers
and stickers, extra recess or lunch with the teacher can be simple, yet motivating.

4. Have fun in class

Plan ways to make learning more fun for the students and use these plans as
motivation. If you have a difficult task ahead, such as testing, or are trying to get
past a challenging behavior problem, ask your class to work hard to earn a fun
learning reward. Consider turning learning plans into games such as an escape
room activity or using a community quiz app. Your class could earn a pajama day
with an extra reading afternoon or a movie that relates to a unit you finished.

5. Consider peer-group teaching

To encourage improvements in students' behavior, consider using peer-group
teaching. Peers can be helpful in monitoring and reinforcing positive behavior with
other students. A group process may also aid conflict resolution and mediation as
students can provide feedback to each other about behavioral issues to learn from
difficult these situations.
