Deep dives

Understanding Relational Behavior Management

Relational behavior management focuses on building positive relationships with students rather than merely correcting unwanted behavior. This approach emphasizes viewing behavior as a collaborative effort, where both teachers and students work together to address challenges. By removing the authority-driven mindset associated with behavior management, the relational model fosters an environment of mutual respect and understanding. The goal is to recognize that every student's behavior is influenced by their unique context, thereby promoting a more empathetic and connected classroom atmosphere.
