Classroom Management Tips
Comprehensive classroom management : creating communities of support and solving problems by Vern Jones, Louise Jones

1.    Watch the class carefully to notice behavior problems quickly.
2.    Clearly explain expectations.
3.    Stand close to students that are getting off task.
4.    Use a small note rather than a verbal reprimand to remind a student of the rule he/she is breaking.
5.    Involve students in your lesson when they are getting off task.
6.    Increase interest by using humor or connecting the lesson to some topic in which the student may be particularly interested. 
7.    Touch a student to draw their attention back to the class.
8.    Offer and provide assistance to a student who is off task
9.    Create a private signal to give the student when his/her behavior is inappropriate.
10. Your correction should not draw more attention away from the lesson than the inappropriate behavior it is targeting.
11. Harsh words stir up anger and put students on the defensive.
12. Keep your cool. 
13. Use kind words and tones. 
14. Stay aware of the non-verbal messages you are sending.
15. Make students aware of the specific rule that is being broken.
16. Tell students how their behavior affects you by using the personal pronoun  " I ".
17. Allow students to make choices (within reason).
18. Teach about the positive outcomes of attending to the lesson.
19. Draw class attention to students who are acting appropriately.
20. Direct the class to an activity before dealing with a student who is being extremely disruptive.
