Prompting Positive Behavior by Preventing Misbehavior
One of the best strategies to prevent misbehavior is by clearly explaining students what
they are supposed to do or not allowed to do during the class. Teachers cannot assume
that students know the rules and consequences for misbehavior just because they have
been exposed to them in school. Consequently, Teachers need to address this technique
on the first day of class. Furthermore, in order to make sure that students follow the rules,
teachers need to follow up the rules, monitor students behavior, and remind them as
many time as possible about what is expected from them.

As we all know, it is important to motivate students. Some teachers use reward systems
that reinforce positive behavior. Nonetheless, some students get used to that system;
consequently, they work hard only for the reward rather than for learning. A good way to
foster students learning process is by giving them the opportunity to perform the activity
they want in class. The activity has be related to the topic of the class. It is a way to allow
student learn in a way that they enjoy. Teachers can introduce this strategy at the
beginning of the year, and let students know that they will perform the activity they want
only if they achieve the objectives of the class.
