"Caught Being Good"

Effective behavior management involves making the most of teachable moments.  Most often we teachers catch students being "bad" but ignore those students being "good."  David Ginsberg discusses teachable moments saying that all students deserve attention.  One way he offers is to circulate.  Another way for students to gain attention is by being "good." 
Please check out David Ginsbergs related articles in links at the end of this article:  Responding --or NOT Responding --to Misbehavior and Student Attitude Adjustment or Teacher Attention Adjustment.  Both are excellent as this one is.  Well worth your time.
