3. 50% of classroom time is lost due to students disrupting class
Of that time lost:
80% comes from talking without permission
19% comes from students being unfocused, getting out of seats, or making distracting noises
1% comes from physical fighting
What are some ideas you have that could stop these disruptions?

4. Main ideas and Philosophy
Classroom structure that prevents behavior problems
Use say, see, do teaching
Use incentive system
Use nonverbal body language in enforcing behavior to avoid verbal disruptions
Provide efficient help to individual students

5. Classroom Structure and Routine
Have clear set rules and routines for the classroom that students are expected to know and follow
Seating arrangements: assigned seats prevent problems and save time
Arrange furniture to maximize mobility and greater physical proximity to students

6. Classroom Structure and Routine
Utilize Bell Work: Have a set of instructions for students to start their day with before the bell rings that require little instruction
Assign classroom chores that give students a sense of responsibility and structure

7. Use Nonverbal Body Language
Avoid pausing during teaching to verbally correct behavior problems
Use eye contact, signals, and facial expressions to convey the message
Use close proximity to a student to deter behavior problems
Teacher must convey dignity and cooperation, and if students feel respected as individuals they will want to act similarly

8. Use Say, See, Do Teaching
Explain what to do, model what to do, and then have students do it
Minimize the time between giving the instruction and having students execute the task

9. Use Incentive Systems
Use incentives for good behavior to motivate students to stay on task and complete their work
Rewards should appeal to the class as a whole not just some students
Rewards should include things like free time at educational centers or reading time of your choice. These are more effective than tangible things such as gold stars and stickers.

10. Provide Efficient Help to Individual Students
Teachers need to be more efficient when tending to individual questions to avoid lost time going over the same questions
Room should be set up for easy access to the teacher
Have graphic charts available for students to consult for step by step processes

11. Conclusion
Students will model after their teachers when shown appropriate behavior and treated with respect.
