Proactive strategies are designed to prevent misbehavior by creating a safe, predictable, and engaging environment. These include relationship-building, clear expectations, instructional design, and transitions. Proactive management is more than rules—it's about cultivating a classroom where students want to learn and behave appropriately.

How do these strategies help address root causes of misbehavior? How would you modify them to support English learners, students with disabilities, or those impacted by trauma?
