Establish consequences for misbehaving.

Follow through with consequences for misbehaviour. Show students that you are serious and they will take you seriously.

Tell students that there will be consequences for misbehaviour.

Determine what consequences will be effective with your students.

Keep an eye on your students.

Class goes so much better when you can see your students. Position your so that most, if not all of the class is visible.

Give incentives to Do their best on assignments.

Its a strategy to elicit better performance on an undergraded assignment. In most cases, students will work for peer approval by doing the assignment.

Let students choose their seats.

At the beginning, let students sit where they want for a few days, doing this, they have ¨ownership¨ in those seats and tend to behave well in order to avoid being moved.

Focus on the disruptive students.

If students are not paying attention or busy doing other things, get them focus by using nonverbal signals of disapproval.

Take charge of your class.

Get everyone's attention before beginning class. The lesson wont be started, the lecture wont begin, and nothing will be written until everyone is in his or her seat paying attention.
