Thanks for this, really good stuff here!
Number 3 – the physical layout of a room affects behaviour is a fact, ignoring this is absolute folly!
Number 4 is also key – creating new behaviours is so much easier than trying to undo years of learnt behaviours that have been learned since birth is a no brainer if you ask me!
Thanks for the comments Jonny. I appreciate hearing from you. I agree that #4 is a no brainer. Good reminder anyhow.
#8 is very important to remember. Often we have the idea to improve behavior so that students will be “good” or attentive without really thinking about the specific behaviors that lead to the desired end result.
