Positive Motivational Strategies for Improving Classroom Behavior
Classroom management, including capturing and maintaining motivation for students to perform at their highest potential academically and behaviorally, has been of interest to teachers and researchers alike for decades (Brophy, 2006). This presentation will review various empirically based, positive strategies for improving classroom behavior for large groups, small groups, and individuals within large groups. We will also present assessing student needs and preferences, deciding on which management systems to use, practical ways to implement the systems with fidelity, collecting data on student performance, and evaluating and adjusting the management systems based on performance and feedback.
- Identify positive motivational systems for large and small groups of students
- Identify positive motivational systems for individual students
- Identify approaches to implement positive motivational systems with fidelity
