INTERACT POSITIVELY
Provide frequent, non-contingent attention to buildrelationships AND positive feedback to acknowledgestudents’ efforts to be successful.
“ Noncontigent attentioninvolves giving studentstime and attention notbecause of anythingthey’ve done, but justbecause you notice andvalue them as people.”
(Alberto & Troutman, 2006; Carr et. al., 2000)

Something to think about…
If your classroom is sorigid and strict, yourstudents will be morefocused on notgetting into troubleinstead of thelearning.
CORRECT FLUENTLY
Pre-plan how to correct misbehavior so yourresponses are fluent, brief, calm, and immediate
frequentlyIf your classroom has MORE than2-3 students who misbehavefrequently…
∞Organize your classroom routines& procedures
∞Design & implement yourclassroom management &discipline plan
∞Build positive relationshipswith your students
∞Implement class-widemotivation system
Effective Correction
∞Unemotional & calm
∞Brief
∞Specific
∞Consistent
∞Fluent
∞Respectful
PLAN AHEAD
∞How will you respond to minor,moderate, or severemisbehavior?
oHave a catalogue of optionsavailable to choose from
Categorize the misbehavior,then respond appropriatelyusing a strategy from yourcatalogue
