Disruptive behavior results in lost curriculum time and creates a classroom environment that is not always conducive to learning. It is difficult for learning to take place in chaotic environments. Managing the classroom is directly connected to the teaching of students.
How students behave in a classroom affects how much and how well they learn. Even one student acting out can interrupt all the students' learning. It's the teacher's job to manage the classroom in a manner that reinforces learning. A well organized classroom allows more positive interactions between teachers and children reducing the probability that challenging behaviors will occur. Modifying the classroom environment may serve as a direct intervention for children that demonstrate ongoing disruptive behavior (umv.edu).
Ideally, teachers needs to identify the problem, figure out how to change the behavior, find a way to encourage students to follow a pattern of desired behavior and use this pattern consistently so all the students are focused on the lessons or activities being taught.
