To manage student behavior effectively, teachers must exhibit patience in their interactions with students. Regardless of student behavior, a teacher should address students while respecting their dignity. In classrooms where behavior is well-managed, teachers set high expectations for students and are consistent in their application of the rules. These rules should be clear and easy to understand. The teacher must know when and how to address behavioral problems. Some are best addressed privately after class, while other behaviors must be dealt with immediately to keep the class under control. For example, subtle techniques are one method to control behavior. Moving closer to students who are whispering during class or saying a student's name in the middle of instruction are subtle techniques. The teacher must be aware of what is going on in the classroom and intervene before behaviors become out of control. It is vital that the teacher build relationships with the students and genuinely care for them. If not, subtle techniques are unlikely to have much effect, and behavior management will be more difficult.
