EP 191: Redirecting Behavior #4: Stop Punishing the Class
Wednesday Feb 25, 2026
Wednesday Feb 25, 2026
In this final episode of the four-part series on Redirecting and Managing Behavior, Dr. Anna wraps up with five big-picture strategies that can transform your classroom, especially on the hardest days. You'll learn why giving up is never the answer and what to do instead when a lesson falls apart, how front-loading tasks with explicit instructions prevents behavior problems before they start, and why collective punishment backfires and damages the relationships you've worked so hard to build.
Dr. Anna also shares practical ways to connect with students in small moments throughout the day and explains how building a class narrative gives students a sense of shared purpose that makes everything, including behavior, better. Whether you're in your first year or your fifth, these strategies will help you move from simply managing behavior to building a classroom community where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
