The article “Classroom Universals to Prevent Problem Behaviors” by Robert Trussell talks about the implementation of universals as being essential within classrooms. Classroom universals are those organizational and teacher instructional practices that are essential in preventing the occurrence of problem behaviors while simultaneously increasing academic achievement. This article goes into depth with the various types of universals that, when applies consistently and collectively, help create safe and effective classrooms. It also provides evidence throughout the article to support my inquiry that the classroom environment does indeed have direct impacts on student learning and behaviors.
