I went to a workshop last month about difficult behaviors in the classroom. The speaker said in order to decrease behaviors in your classroom give students a choice so that way they feel like they are in control even though the teacher still has the control. After the workshop I started to give my students a choice before they have the opportunity to misbehave and become disruptive. It definitely works and my students usually make the correct choice.
