My priority is to avoid disruptions to class learning by maintaining engagement and dealing with behavior at the classroom level. I use Positive Behavior Supports and Interventions to avoid relying on consequences to manage the class.

 My Top Positive Behavior Supports 

1. Always look for and praise good behavior

2. Mindful Breaks

3. Rewards e.g. fun activity, free time, tangible items

4. Having a planned response, i.e. understanding the behavior has a purpose

5. Reinforcing small gains in behavior

6. Proximity

7. Encouraging student involvement in classroom expectations

8. Discipline privately
