One of the best ways to manage student behavior in the classroom is by using classroom organization and behavior management tools. These tools recognize good behavior in kids and help reinforce those behaviors through incentives and rewards. So, anytime a student is helpful or respectful, they get a reward like some candy or praise from their teacher. These rewards then encourage more good behavior from the students in the future.
