Supporting Positive Group Behavior in Classrooms

Creating positive group behavior is essential for learning, connection, and youth well-being — both in classroom and out-of-school-time settings. When expectations are clear and strategies are proactive, educators can reduce disruptions, strengthen relationships, and support a more inclusive learning environment.

In this interactive session, you’ll learn tips for building and managing positive group behavior, with a focus on how promotion, prevention, and intervention strategies work together. Explore when and how to use different approaches through real-world scenarios and case studies, building confidence in applying these strategies across a range of group settings.

• Identify promotion, prevention, and intervention strategies that support positive group behavior and healthy learning environments.
• Distinguish when promotion, prevention, or intervention approaches are most appropriate based on classroom or group dynamics.
• Apply positive group behavior strategies to real-life classroom and out-of-school-time scenarios using case studies and guided practice.
