The overarching goal is to keep the focus on learning, while maintaining a classroom that's physically and emotionally safe for all. To achieve this, responses to misbehavior should:
•Stop the misbehavior and reestablish positive behavior as quickly as possible
•Develop children’s self-control and self-regulation skills
•Help children recognize and fix any harm caused by their mistakes
•Demonstrate that rules help make the classroom a safe place where all can learn
