ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to find out the strategies teachers use in managing children with inappropriate behaviours in selected basic schools in Sandema in the Upper East Region of Ghana. This study employed a mixed method research design to guide the study. The sample size was 36 respondents. Questionnaire in the form of a Likert-type scale was used to collect data for the study. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The results revealed that basic school teachers in Sandema mostly relied on the use of punishment and being genuine and sincere in praise when managing inappropriate behaviours of children. It was further revealed that there was general ineffectiveness of regular teachers’ strategies in managing inappropriate behaviours. In view of the findings, the researcher recommended among other things that educational institutions at the basic schools should organize seminars, workshops, talks or symposia for teachers on how to handle inappropriate behaviours of children. Attempts should be made to assist the teachers to accurately identify, diagnose and institute appropriate behaviour management strategies such as the token economy, and time out.
