Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of positive and negative classroom
management techniques on student achievement in second grade. This study will be able to
determine the most effective classroom management technique(s) for student
achievement. Classroom management is essential in every classroom in order for students to be
successful. If an educator does not have control and respect from their students, he or she will
spend more time trying to get students on task instead of teaching the students. Classroom
management techniques and strategies vary from school to school. Some schools have school
wide programs to ensure all educators are on the same page and in other schools every teacher
does what they feel is best for their students. This study involved a lot of documentation in order
to get the best results. Data was collected for Class DoJo points earned, Woodchuck bucks
earned, and student grades (academic achievement). Research in the area of student behaviors is
significant and provides other educators with essential information to help them in their
classroom. This is especially true for low income and poverty schools. These students benefit
greatly from positive reinforcement in the classroom. Students want to know that they are cared
for and that their opinions matter.
