Student misbehavior is one of the biggest fears of new and inexperienced teachers. New teachers are unsure of what to expect. However, if you go into the classroom expecting a high level of cooperation and behavior, you will have a better shot at achieving your goals. Approaching a classroom with fear and the belief that students will misbehave becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Those teachers who approach student behavior in a positive manner — without believing kids will always misbehave — are the teachers who have better classroom management skills and lower stress levels.
