Behavior Strategies Every New Teacher Can Use
If your Sundays are filled with anxiety about the week ahead, you’re not failing—your training just didn’t prepare you for the real behavior battles of teaching.
This session is designed for new and early-career teachers who love teaching but feel drained by daily disruptions, defiance, and classroom chaos. In just 90 minutes, we’ll uncover the behavioral basics that most teacher preparation programs overlook—how to set the tone, earn student respect, and prevent misbehavior before it starts. You’ll learn realistic strategies for establishing clear expectations and routines, responding to misbehavior with calm authority, and building student relationships that make cooperation the norm, not the exception.
You’ll leave with practical language, next-day tools, and ready-to-use behavior moves that replace Sunday night dread with Monday morning confidence. This isn’t theory—it’s frontline training for real classrooms.
