I really do not use any online or outside resources for my behavior management in my classroom. Part of that is because I am still learning about different resources. As an outside source, I do take trainings with my public school. The most recent training I undertook was for classroom management and child protection. There was a six hour class on the both subjects. During the class, we were presented with the material and then given situations about what we would do. The class seemed pretty basic and similar to my classroom management training in America. We did have an assignment that required online submission.
The things I do in my classroom for management are things that have worked for me in the past. During the first week of school, I review with my students the required rules and procedures for the class. After I review the rules and procedures, I review the consequences that comes with the rules being broken. I try to review both the rules/procedures and the consequences every day for seven days. After that, the students know by heart what they're suppose to be doing on a day to day.
After the students understand the rules, I introduce monetary rewards program. I used copied fake money allow the students a chance to earn this money to buy things in my school store. The students are broken up in groups. In those groups, the students can earn points through out the lesson for doing the right thing, answering questions, staying on task, etc. If I see them doing something wrong, the whole team loses points. At the end of the class, the group with the most points gets a stamp in the stamp book. After they have completed five stamps, they will get one American dollar. At the end of the month, they take those dollars and shop in my store. If they lose their money, it will not be replaced.
In the future, some websites I would take view to help create a new behavior management program are
http://www.pbis.org/: This site helps teachers develop a checklist and a better behavior plan. I'm still new in developing behavior plans and reward plans, so this site would be extremely helpful with thinking about all aspects of positive and negative behavior.
http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/: I used this site for one of classes. This site offers a lot of research based answers and solutions for problems in the classroom.
