A teacher has “with-it-ness” if:
• When discipline problems occur, the teacher consistently takes action to suppress the misbehavior of exactly those students who instigated the problem
• When two discipline problems arise concurrently, the teacher deals with the most serious first
• The teacher decisively handles instances of off-task behavior before the behaviors either get out of hand or are modeled by others

With-it-Ness (continued)
