=**Classroom Management**=

1) Develop procedures/routines for doing things in class like sharpening pencils, getting in line for lunch, etc. Teachers should rehearse and practice these procedures with students.
 * Tips:**

2) Make sure teacher behavior is consistent. For example, always write the homework on the board in the same spot everyday.

3) Develop an action or sound to get student's attention. For example, teachers may use a hand clap technique, where the teacher claps a beat and the students repeat. Teachers may use a bell or flicker the lights as well.

4) Assign classroom jobs to students. For example, there may be a student assignment to keep the class tidy or get lunch tickets.

5 ) Use brain breaks. Between lessons, teacher may allow students to get up and move around or talk with their neighbor for a few minutes

6) Use a behavior chart to regulate behavior. For example, teachers may use a color system like green, yellow and red and tie each color to a reward or consequence

7) Set high expectations for students. This means that you have confidence in their abilities.

8) Use positive reinforcement, which can be tied to rewards or other incentives for students

9) Develop classroom rules and expectations. These should be clearly posted in the classroom and review with students

10) Disciple through redirecting and engaging off-task students
