Middle School Classroom Management Interventions that Work

Much research has been conducted on classroom management in elementary schools, but there is less empirical work at the middle school level. This presentation will describe results of a comprehensive review of middle school classroom management interventions. Presenters will summarize and relate key features of universal classroom management programs that have been shown to improve student outcomes, with a particular focus on similarities and differences between intervention packages. Attendees will engage in each intervention as the presenters demonstrate. Additionally, the presentation will highlight a classroom management program to improve student behavior through tier one and tier two interventions. We will provide examples of how to implement this program through demonstration and share results of using this intervention in middle school.

  • Attendees will learn about the results of a literature review identifying middle school behavior management strategies for use class-wide.
  • Attendees will obtain knowledge of evidence-based behavior management practices to use in middle school classrooms.
  • Attendees will see demonstrations of evidence-based behavior management practices for use in middle school classrooms.
