1. Chapter 6:
Structuring the Environment

2. Principles
When environmental conditions are appropriate for learning, the
likelihood of disruptive behavior is minimized.
Students are more likely to follow classroom guidelines if the
teacher models appropriate behavior, explains the relationship
of the guidelines to learning, mutual student-teacher respect,
and protection and safety of property and individuals, and
obtains student commitment to follow them.
Teaching students appropriate behavior increases the likelihood
that disruptive behavior will be prevented.
Enforcing teacher expectations by using natural and logical
consequences helps students to learn that they are responsible
for the consequences of their behavior and thus are responsible
for controlling their own behavior.

is a professional paper; not a personal one based on feelings. It
must be written in the third person; this means words like “I,”
“we,” and “you” are not appropriate.
**********NEW DATA AND SCENARIOS ARE USED EACH
SESSION**********
If you procure old assignments from students or websites and
use the data for your assignment, you will receive a zero
because it is considered a violation of the University's academic
integrity policy. The case will be referred and become part of
your academic record. In certain circumstances, you may be
awarded an F for the course.
If you are taking this class for a second time, submission of past
work involving the data sets will result in a zero for the
assignment. Your answers will be wrong since you are working
with a
different company and industry.
