Chapter 3: Classroom Behavior

Chapter three covers a lot of topics, one that I strongly agree with is "Practice the habits that create a good classroom tone"(39) It is a teachers responsibility to practice what they preach in order to have the students following them, all students and teachers must follow the same classroom rules. Taking care of issues before they disrupt the classroom is another way that teachers can practice good habits in the classroom, if small things such as kids leaving trash in the classroom, can be stopped immediately it will hopefully take care of the issue so that students in the future will know to throw all trash away when they are finished with it. Kids do not want to feel like they are being babysat, and it is so important for teachers to follow up with what they say in order to gain respect from the students.
