Answer to Question 2

Guidelines we can follow to effectively intervene in cases of student misbehavior include the following: (1) Maintain the flow of instruction while intervening in cases of misbehavior, such as asking a question as you simultaneously move to be near a student who is whispering and not paying attention. (2) Protect students' emotional safety when intervening, such as keeping interventions brief, avoiding power struggles with students, and maintaining an assertive but dispassionate manner. (3) Use cognitive interventions when possible; revert to behavioral interventions when necessary, such as reminding a student who breaks a rule that the class agreed that the rule makes sense and is fair, attempting to maintain withitness, using I-messages, and keeping verbal and nonverbal behavior congruent.
