Tips for Handling Common Classroom Problems

Every year the faces change, but the problems remain the same. Teachers struggle with the same behavior issues whether their schools are in Tallahassee, Tempe, or Trenton. Use the strategies to quickly end classroom misbehavior and return to teaching.

Keep these key points in mind:

- When dealing with pranks, silly noises, and other attention-getting behavior, remember to remain calm and act decisively. An overly dramatic reaction from you will just encourage more misbehavior.

- Make your expectations concerning student behavior clear. Be consistent with your discipline when those expectations are not met.

- When disruptions occur, handle them as quickly and calmly as you can and resume teaching immediately.
