Hallway Behavior Checklist
This is a quick checklist for teaching correct hallway behavior. It can even be used by students to self-monitor: "Did I walk down the hall with my hands to myself"? Having students take responsibility for their own behavior takes education to a higher level, and is something administrators look for and teacher evaluation systems include these days.

Teaching style
I love using cooperative learning work stations as much as possible. I often use them for targeted-intervention in response to data.
