Just be a good all around teacher!

Some teachers teach, but do they really know the criteria they are trying to teach? Not always. When a student has a question, do not ignore that child. Children will ask questions, answer them. If you can't you do not need to be a teacher. A child will have no need to cheat if they know the material they will be tested over.

Be creative and intresting. Children learn better if they've had an intersting lesson to remember on the test. It will stick with them.

I do agree with the first two answers. A teacher must set rules in his/her class. When a child does not follow by even the simplest rules, their actions should be followed by consequenes. Because whenever a child cheats in their class, they'll know their acitons will then too be followed by consequences. A teacher must let each child know at the beginning of his/her class their rules and consequences. This way, the child knows what to expcect from the teacher.

A teacher should also go into a disscussion about personal integrity. Let the child know that it is wrong to cheat, and cheating is lying.

If the teacher is a good classroom manager, the children will not try to over power the teacher. However, if the teacher does not know how to control a classroom, that teacher is in for a big disaster.
