PREVENTING UNWANTED BEHAVIOR


Most of us teachers have lost our cool inside the classroom. This is very unfortunate and does not speak well of our classroom management skills. Why do students misbehave? Because we allow them to. Before everything gets out of control, the first thing any teacher has to do is assert authority inside the classroom; however, this is easier said than done.

How does one assert authority inside the classroom? There is only one sure way a teacher can successfully assert authority inside the class -
prepare the lesson well and be the best teacher your students ever know. Once they know that you are a good teacher and honestly is working for them learning inside the class, definitely the first step towards classroom discipline has been clearly won.
