Abstract: In this chapter, we do not attempt to reiterate the well-established literature on classroom structure. Instead, we introduce four proactive strategies teachers can implement during academic instruction to facilitate appropriate decorum and help a classroom run smoothly. Each strategy is an antecedent-based approach to preventing problems from occurring. Whereas consequent-based interventions require the problem behavior to occur before invoking the strategy (e.g., verbal redirect, time-out), antecedent-based approaches can be introduced without waiting for the problems to occur. The most common strategies include (a) proximity, (b) high rates of opportunities to respond, (c) high-probability requests (behavioral momentum), and (d) choice making. In the sections that follow, we define each of these strategies and document the effects of these interventions when used with students with or at risk for learning and behavior problems. While research has focused mostly on elementary school students, these techniques, with some possible modifications, should be appropriate for all grade levels and students in regular and special education classes. Finally, we conclude with a brief summary and discussion of the educational implications associated with employing antecedent-based, teacher-focused strategies for preventing problems from occurring.
