Top 10 Teachers' Behavior Interventions For Better Group And Classroom Management

Category: Classroom Management

Here are some of our favorite, most compelling new strategies for the new year.

1. For youngsters who say that they will quit school and go on welfare, ask them to name the states where welfare is still readily available on an on-going basis, as was common years ago. Answer: There are no states that fit that description, however they could consider moving to Guam, the only state/territory in the U.S. that did not dramatically slice aid in recent years. The average state cut welfare by a staggering 53%!

2. This intervention is very odd, but people just adore it. It is perfect to give to parents of normally courteous teens who are in the "mean and surly" phase that so many adolescents go through. This intervention was actually a staple at my house for several years. This intervention only works if you have a pet; we had a beloved dog. When my teen-age son would interact with a parent in a surly or condescending manner, that parent would ask him to treat us as good he treats the dog. It became a family joke, that if you wouldn't talk "that way" to Max (the dog), then you couldn't talk that way to Mom or Dad either. Simply saying: "Please treat me at least as good as the dog" was a reliable way to get a smile (and more courtesy) even in the midst of the most difficult or tense interaction.
