Misbehavior and behavior problems can arise because students feel frustrated and bored in school.

Instructional programs that actively involve students can prevent such problems.

Another common reason students misbehave is because they want the teacher's attention.

What strategies will you use to enhance the students learning?

A calm teacher will deal

more effectively with

the problem and will

encourage the child to

stay calm too.

Stay calm

REMOVEthe audience

Take the child

to one side, or

even out of the

room, before

you have a chat.

Make them decideKeep reminding your children that they have a choice at every stage.

If they decide to repeat the misbehavior they will earn a higher level of

consequences. Make it clear that it’s the behavior, and not the child, that

is being disciplined.

Don’t rise to the baitMuch misbehavior is designed to get a rise out of the teacher. If you refuse to rise to the bait of a child whose aim it is to wind you up, the tactic becomes meaningless and a waste of time.

Logical ConsequencesLogical consequences are relevant (directly related to the misbehavior), realistic (something the child can reasonably be expected to do and that the teacher can manage with a reasonable amount of effort), and respectful (communicated kindly and focused on the misbehavior, not the child's character or personality).

Don’t make them embarrassed

Don’t lecture, scold, or yell

Don’t judge your students
