When students struggle to manage their behavior it can feel overwhelming! As teachers, it can be easy to get frustrated when a student or student consistently interrupts the classroom and interferes with learning. Few of us were trained with how to effectively address challenging behaviors in the classroom so we're left to fend for ourselves. As a result, the behavior continues to spiral out of control until the student is ultimately sent to the office or identified as needing special education services.
But what if I told you it doesn't have to be that way? There are ways we can help many of these students experience success in our classroom through some purposeful planning and easily implemented interventions. That isn't even the best part! You'll find these strategies and resources can help students get back on-track, giving you more time to teach and helping you leave your classroom at the end of the day with more energy.
