Nobodies perfect, and this includes your students. From time to time, they will test limits, question your authority, or flat out incite a riot in the classroom. As a teacher, if you want to manage your classroom successfully, you have to learn how to handle student discipline when misbehavior occurs.

If you don’t, you will spend most of your instructional time redirecting bad behavior, robbing compliant students of their educations. In this tip, we will discuss how you can use Google Classroom to manage the student discipline process.
