Teachers should watch closely as students enter the classroom at the beginning of the period. This is a time when problems may be present to the teacher. If a teacher suspects that a student may have a problem during class, the teacher may be able to head off the problem before it begins. For example, if a student walks into the classroom with a negative outlook, the teacher might speak with the student before class begins. This not only may allow the student to vent, but the teacher may also get to the root of a possible problem before it occurs within the classroom.
Students should be made aware of discipline guidelines and rules from the beginning of the school year. Rules should be posted within the classroom, available in handouts and should be discussed on a regular basis. A teacher should never create a rule unless they intend to enforce it and should stay on top of students, so if a rule is broken, the student can be immediately disciplined. Students must realize that there are consequences to their actions and that...
Classroom guidelines should be easy-to-follow and simple.
If a teacher is faced with a disruption within the classroom, it's important that the teacher doesn't overreact or give the student too much attention. For some students, this may cause the student to want to act out more, seeking attention both from the teacher and classmates.

Low-structured classrooms have more dialogue between the teacher and the students as well, according to PAW (2009). Capizzi (2009) notes that it is easy to visit a variety of classrooms and see how each one has its own style and its own feel. Teachers can get very creative when it comes to structuring and decorating their classrooms, which is nice, but teachers have to be careful that they organize the
..control the environment by implementing a logical system (the teacher's, of course) of conditioning." (Tauber, 1999, p. 19) in this context the teacher is seen as an "interventionist" in that he or she has to control and dictate the learning and behavioral environment. "By accepting a position as a teacher, a person has not only the right but an 'obligation' to modify student behavior" (Axelrod, 1977, p. 158). In essence

Students with special needs are at an increased risk fro having low self-esteem which can often impact their potential for achievement. The best way to overcome this is to reinforce students with positive behaviors and help them work through challenges they may be facing daily. Glasser (1984) developed a theory that suggests that students need to be taught to control their behavior in order to succeed, and thus the role
These include listening to students, expecting students to listen attentively in return, creating rules that students follow directions, ensuring students provide and complete school work on time, and insisting students demonstrate appropriate self-control to limit disciplinary problems in the classroom (Givner, Lynne & Pierson, 2003). When teachers clearly outline these expectations to students, it is more likely students will respect them. Poor adjustment occurs when teachers do not clearly
Classroom Management study conducted by the Utah State University shows that the primary concern of new teachers is classroom management, maintaining an atmosphere of learning and containing discipline problems in the classroom environment. I believe that the first key to successful classroom management is being pro-active, preventing these problems before they occur. Effective teachers should be able to establish harmonious personal interactions with their students. They understand that the behavior of
