Disruptive behavior can mean less learning time for all students. Having a school wide “game plan” is vital to your success in dealing with these behaviors. Your own classroom plan is part of the school wide management . After vacations, it is important to review classroom expectations. Include established consequences if those expectations are not met. Your classroom rules should have a measurable outcome. If you have already set vague expectations such as “be nice”, try to be more clear about your expectations. Not all students understand what nice is. Be specific, say something like “someone who is nice keeps their hands and feet to themselves”. The resources below will be great reference for discussion in your classroom.
