Teachers and principals have long struggled to find effective ways to address and reduce student misbehavior—a challenge that has become more acute since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Educators largely attribute these increases in misbehavior to the negative effects the pandemic had on students' learning, socioemotional development, and mental health.
