The Classroom Behavior Manual: How to Build Relationships with Students, Share Control, and Teach Positive Behaviors

Positive student behaviours are desired outcomes, but this manual concentrates on inputs. How do you respond to difficult behaviour in the moment when you know that punitive, compliance-based behaviour management is so often ineffectual? What's the best way to prevent students from acting out in the first place? The path to success requires behavioural leadership, in which teachers strategically model and affirm the behaviours they want to see in students.

Behaviour expert Scott Ervin calls on his two decades of experience to share the most effective procedures and strategies to foster positive, prosocial student behaviour that supports learning, including ways

• Organise your physical classroom to support positive classroom management.
• Build positive teacher-student relationships.
• Share control with students in a way that best fosters their autonomy.
