3. Be the role model of the behavior you want

•

Enforcing rules in a classroom is hard if you don’t follow them yourself.

Besides having clear policies or rules in place, you should be the first to

practice what you preach. Otherwise, students will be inclined to follow

your examples

instead of your words. If you reprimand students for

lateness, for example, be early every day.

4. Define right from wrong

•

At times, especially when dealing with young children, students might not

know what constitutes unacceptable class behavior. They might know that

playing “PokemonGo” in class is wrong or reading “Cinderella” in the middle

of a lesson is not allowed. Help make the line between right and wrong

clear to them.
