Classroom Management

There is a significant relationship between student behavior in the classroom and the surrounding environment. In a nut shell, what we do (or how we act) in the classroom directly influences how our students behave.

A well-designed behavior management plan focuses on preventing rather than responding to problem behavior. Effective, evidence based management strategies are the foundation of primary interventions in Classroom-wide PBIS (CW-PBIS).
