Design the classroom space to minimize potential distractions, and create clear rules and routines around the use of classroom activities.
Removing students from classrooms for bad behavior creates a negative feedback loop, in which the student is rewarded by escaping a task they don’t want to confront. Train teachers to resolve problem behavior before it requires removal.
Provide robust teacher training in the classroom management techniques, using concrete real-classroom examples alongside theoretical frameworks.
Use repeat teacher evaluations to identify teachers who need additional classroom management training.
