It provides examples of teacher behaviors to avoid, such as name-calling, threats, vague commands, and focusing only on students' weaknesses. The document emphasizes using positive reinforcement, clear expectations, empathy, and avoiding reactions that escalate minor issues. Teachers are encouraged to examine how their own interactions may be fueling inappropriate behaviors and to collaborate with students rather than try to dominate them.
