Chapter 3: Classroom Behavior

I thought one great point the author and student co-authors discussed in this chapter was that teachers should include the entire class in creating the classroom rules. I think the students bring up some good points for why it is beneficial for them to be part of the behavior expectations.
Including a class discussion on expectations for classroom behavior at the beginning of the year is important to mention because I have heard varying views on it. This step will involve the entire class in making agreed-upon expectations. It will allow students to add their own needs to the list, and also teachers can make it known that behavior and work habits are part of their grade.

Classroom management can be made effective when students and teachers take part with full involvement. A group discussion on expectations of students and teachers is essential as views differ. When a student realizes his part, it becomes easier for the teachers to control the class. My friend got surplus information about improving classroom behavior from a wonderful website.
