How to Motivate Student Behavior through Proactive Strategies
Stop student misbehavior before it happens: Be Proactive.
If you encounter belligerent students, ones that brazenly defy your authority and cause havoc in your classroom, you might be in desperate need to find a solution to this problem before it undermines your authority as teacher.
You must be careful how you proceed with student behavior because school policies and state education laws forbid you as teacher to stridently accost a student by forcing compliance upon her.
In fact, according to many school policies on restraint of students, students must not endure physical force unless such a restraint is necessary to protect students and others.
Belligerent students can become verbally defiant and apathetic about assignments, and they will challenge you as teacher to motivate them otherwise; you must apply classroom management techniques to thwart students’ misbehavior.
An effective way you may manage your students’ attitudes is to be proactive. You must have a plan and reinforce it from the beginning to the end of class time.
Below are strategies to help manifest students’ good behavior and motivate them to quell their bad habits to focus on their classwork instead.
