Why Students Misbehave and Practical Interventions

The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines //intervention// as //"to// [|//interfere//] //with the outcome or course especially of a condition or process (as to prevent harm or improve functioning)".// While at times we have no control over student behavior, more often than not, our response to routine classroom problem is the significant variable for the outcome of that event. The chart aims to identify practical classroom interventions and the reasons students misbehave.
