Most of the time there are no behavior problems in the class. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If this is a new class or you are a new teacher, I would suggest you establish a seating arrangement for students prior to the first day of the academic school year. This will decrease the likelihood for misbehaviors. When students have the opportunity to control their seating preferences, it leaves little control to the teacher. Students will probably sit next to their friends, talk during instruction, and cause class disruptions. It is best to have an assigned seating chart that way you are practicing proper classroom management strategies and remain in control of students, their behaviors, and the learning environment.
