*** Behavior problems leaving no trace of frustration ***

***You can respond to misbehavior without a care in the world.***

Once you cross this hurdle from taking misbehavior personally to dispassionately allowing your classroom management plan to do its job, annoyance will no longer have a hold on you.

You’ll no longer feel the roil of tension and frustration rising up in your throat. You’ll no longer tiptoe around students or endure teaching through disruptions. You’ll no longer leave for the day wrung out and dreading tomorrow.

Instead, you’ll be empowered to respond effectively to misbehavior. You’ll be empowered to calmly approach any student who misbehaves and say, “You have a warning because you broke rule number one. If it happens again, you’ll go to time-out.”

In an instant, the hands of leverage will shift in your favor.

Because when your students know that their misbehavior, no matter how egregious, won’t affect you in the least, it will change everything. It will bring peace to your classroom and provide them a leader they can respect, admire, and want to behave for.
