Teachers in my Classroom Management Club always ask for strategies to help handle student behaviors, which is why classroom management is such a hot topic on this podcast. While I will continue to provide you with new tips you can use in your classroom, in today's episode, I want to reiterate a perspective that will change how you address behavior issues with your students.
Although student behaviors can be challenging, it's important to remember that all behavior is communication. Since students are trying to tell us something, it's our job as educators to figure out what that something is, and it all starts with building strong connections. Today I'm sharing 12 practical and easy ways to build connections with your students.
