Classroom Management
Effective classroom and behavior management skills are essential for success in the classroom. As a substitute comes
to understand and implement the skills taught in chapter one of the Substitute Teacher Handbook and included on the
SubInstructor eTraining and Classroom Management CDs, the substitute’s ability to effectively manage the classroom
environment and direct student behavior increases. The following five skills for effectively managing student behavior
are based on the basic principles of human behavior:
|
Skill 1:
|
The ability to get and keep students on-task.
|
|
Skill 2:
|
The ability to maintain a high rate of positive teacher-to-student interactions and risk-free student response
opportunities.
|
|
Skill 3:
|
The ability to teach expectations.
|
|
Skill 4:
|
The ability to respond noncoercively.
|
|
Skill 5:
