One of the best ways to prevent management problems is by pacing and structuring lessons or activities as smoothly and continuously as possible. This goal depends on three major strategies:
- selecting tasks or activities at an appropriate level of difficulty for your students
- providing a moderate level of structure or clarity to students about what they are supposed to do, especially during transitions between activities
- keeping alert to the flow and interplay of behaviors for the class as a whole and for individuals within it.
Each strategy presents special challenges to teachers, but also opportunities for helping students to learn.
