Researchers have identified low-intensity classroom management strategies that, when implemented consistently, lead to significant improvements in student behavior. The strategies detailed in this special issue—behavior-specific praise, high-probability request sequence, precorrection, active supervision, instructional choice, and instructional feedback—can easily be embedded within academic instruction and result in decreased student disruptive behavior and increased academic engagement.
