Classroom Management

• Be proactive - always work to prevent misbehaviour and its escalation.
  
• Plan for behaviour - for both the classroom and individual students.
  
• Be positive - hold and convey positive expectations; catch them doing it right
  
• Be persistent - changing behaviour is not easy; there will be resistance, so stick with your goal. (Coat of Many Pockets. Jenny Mackay. 2006. p. xvii)
