I'll be teaching 3rd grade this year and have at lest 2 boys who tend to derail the class and be challenging. Do you have any out-of-the-box ideas on how to connect with them and manage their behavior before it begins? and to keep it consistently managed? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The students may be eager to get attention or may have a short attention span. As a teacher, you do not want to put all of your focus on them. But you might be able to give them a task that they only get to do under good behavior that they could look forward to in order to encourage better behavior.
