The article provides advice on effective behavior management for teachers. The key points include:

  1. Build Positive Relationships: Knowing your students personally, using their names, and being authentic in sharing about yourself can lead to better behavior in the classroom.
  2. Follow School’s Behavior Policy: Familiarize yourself with your school’s behavior management policy, as it varies from school to school. A consistent and widely accepted policy makes classroom management easier.
  3. Be Consistent and Fair: Consistency in applying both sanctions and praise is crucial. Teachers should maintain consistency in all aspects of their role and ensure that students understand the expectations.
  4. Develop Your Teaching Persona: Teachers should create a strong and authentic teaching persona to establish a positive classroom climate. However, it’s essential to maintain the teacher-student relationship rather than trying to be their friend.
  5. Seek Support When Needed: Teachers should not hesitate to seek support from colleagues or senior leadership when facing challenges in behavior management. Having a clear system for seeking help can contribute to a more effective approach.
