This document provides a list of classroom management strategies for teachers. Some of the key strategies mentioned include using positive praise and reinforcement of good behavior, implementing behavior charts and reward systems, giving students ownership over their behavior through self-monitoring and peer leadership, establishing clear routines and signals for transitions, and focusing attention on positive behaviors rather than misbehaviors. The variety of strategies aim to promote student self-discipline and foster a nurturing environment in the classroom.
