Getting to the root of the behavior issue. Identifying where they need extra support to curve the negative behavior and leaning on their strengths for positive reinforcement.

Students who are struggling with content or behavior may have a lack of understanding of material. It is important to find the root of the struggle; this can help identify where the student needs extra support. 

First day expectations are important so students will know what is expected of them. This shows my confidence in the subject matter, giving the students confidence that they will learn what is needed from the program. It is helpful to have the most important info in the syllabus, highlighted or bold so students can reference back and find important info easily.

I learned I need to redo my syllabus to make my expectations more clear so the students will know what to expect. That was really helpful to me. 

Teachers need to monitor students at all time.  We should be moving around.  I liked the 20-second survey idea--stand in a place for 20 seconds, then move on.  You need to make eye contact and give each student attention - not just students who misbehave.  We also need to make sure all students feel like they "are in the club."  If you are faced with an angry student, listen, take notes, and ask them how they feel the situation can be resolved.  

Students' behavior might be because they can't see a reason to learn the information.  The teacher needs to make sure they understand the relevancy and application in the student's life.  

Clearly expressing grading deadlines gives students clear guidelines.
