Behavior management strategies are the tools needed to ensure a classroom community does not crumble into ruins. A classroom should be a positive and safe learning environment, not a dictatorship. Students need autonomy over their learning, but in order to facilitate this learning, order must be in effect.

Without a strong foundation, a classroom community is at high risk of crumbling into
ruins. Behavior management strategies are the tools needed to ensure that such an event does not take place within your own classroom. By implementing a purposeful, consistent management plan at the beginning of the year and maintaining it until the very end, you lower the risk of teaching in a classroom where learning takes a back seat to putting out fires. Effective behavior management consists of a thorough understanding of the individual adolescents in your classroom combined with high expectations and patience. Successful behavior management is contingent upon both the students and the teacher. In order to create a sound foundation for your classroom, you must start on day one by setting up high expectations and guidelines for classroom procedures and routines that are rooted in a thorough understanding of the adolescent mind. To smoothly implement these expectations and guidelines, it is crucial that my students agree to uphold these expectations and guidelines throughout the rest of the year. Without an understanding of and commit to these expectations and guidelines, the students will be less likely to learn efficiently. Therefore, teachers can set up the foundation of a positive classroom climate by co-constructing expectations as well as guidelines for each individual class and ensuring student accountability with regard to these expectations and guidelines throughout the year. Prevention is key to behavior management. Therefore, once guidelines and expectations have been set, teachers must implement a curriculum that is both relevant and engaging to the students in order to encourage diligent work and improvement for both the educator and the students. A classroom should be a positive and safe learning environment, not a dictatorship where an adult lectures and an adolescent student complies. The ultimate goal of an education in the United States should be to guide adolescents until they become free and critical thinkers; therefore, the behavior management approach chosen needs to reflect this goal. Students need autonomy over their learning, but in order to facilitate this learning, order must be in effect. Students learn best in a positive environment that encourages risks and teaches growth from failure. Students need to feel responsible for and excited about their own learning rather than feeling as if they are being subjected to a mandatory curriculum they are uninterested in. In order to create such a classroom environment, a successful behavior management plan needs to be tailored to the individual students and reflect their unique needs, learning preferences, and interests, all the while upholding high expectations for their intellectual and emotional growth.
