AMS Behavior Tip of the Week: Remain Positive
There will be days that challenge you and your students, no matter what. No one is immune to feeling defeated from time to time, and that feeling can spread if you allow it. As difficult as it might seem to remain positive in the face of challenges, you owe it to yourself and your class to turn negative feelings around. Take a deep breath and summon your powers of positivity.

AMS Behavior Tip of the Week:
Students will test boundaries. It’s up to you to correct these forays into poor behavior before they become larger issues. If your students learn that you won’t let even the smallest infraction slip by, you will maintain your authority over your class. Just be sure that your correction is proportional to the infraction.

AMS Behavior Tip of the Week: Find the Right Tone of Voice
The tone of voice you use when speaking to your students matters. Using the wrong tone can have far-reaching effects, especially from your at-risk students. Every class will be different, so what worked for last year’s class might not quite fit the students you have this year. It might take a few days to get your tone just right, but once you do, the rewards can be big. Remember this when you must correct students, individually and as a group.
