Start each day with a clean slate. Effective teachers start teaching their class each day with the expectation that students will behave. This establishes the mental well being of all students and sets the environment for success (Charles, 2008). Teachers should let students know that everyday is a fresh new day with new opportunities. This presents students who have broken rules in the past with the opportunity of beginning again. If students think that the teacher will hold their past behavior against them, they will begin to lose motivation in the class (Santrock, 2009).
