Effective Classroom Preventative Management Strategies To prevent or minimize unnecessary classroom disruption: Establish a positive learning environment which motivates students to learn Establishing a positive environment where students treat each other with respect, promotes student participation and enhances student relations.

Plan appropriate seating arrangements based upon behaviour configuration Outlining a seating plan routine based upon a configuration that is most conducive of effective learning and behaviour, provides students with consistency and opportunities to work with students most likely to enhance their own learning.
Foster and positively reinforce responsible student behavior Importance of providing not only recognition of misbehavior but also acknowledgment of positive or responsible behaviour to reinforce to students their good behaviour is recognized and appreciated (Lewis, 2008).
Establish as a class, clear, fair, positive rules and state consequences for inappropriate behaviour

Ensuring the consequences of not adhering to these rules are clearly discussed and students know inappropriate behavior will be picked up quickly and will have the discussed consequences is important (Lewis, 2008).
