PPR Classroom Management and Behavior Strategies 2

Question 1

A PPR candidate reads that a teacher uses logical consequences rather than punishments. Which example best illustrates a logical consequence?

Accepted Answer

A student who writes on a desk must clean the desk and any other marked desks

Answer

Logical consequences are directly related to the misbehavior; cleaning the desk connects the consequence to the action in a meaningful way.

Question 2

Which PPR-aligned strategy best helps students internalize classroom rules rather than simply comply with them out of fear of punishment?

Accepted Answer

Involving students in creating and discussing classroom rules

Answer

When students participate in creating rules, they develop ownership and are more likely to internalize and follow them authentically.

Question 3

According to PPR principles, what is the primary purpose of establishing predictable classroom routines?

Accepted Answer

To reduce student anxiety and increase time on task

Answer

Predictable routines reduce cognitive load and anxiety, allowing students to focus their energy on learning rather than figuring out what to do next.

Question 4

A teacher uses proximity — moving near off-task students — instead of verbal warnings. This strategy best reflects which classroom management principle?

Accepted Answer

Non-intrusive, least-restrictive redirection

Answer

Proximity is a non-intrusive redirection technique that corrects behavior with minimal disruption to the instructional flow.

Question 5

Which PPR concept describes the practice of overlapping — handling a discipline issue while simultaneously keeping the rest of the class engaged?

Accepted Answer

Overlapping

Answer

Overlapping, from Kounin's research, refers to the ability to address a discipline issue and continue instruction at the same time.
