- His theory of classroom management coincided with his idea of operant conditioning in that the best way to alter behavior was to alter the learning environment.
- Skinner kept in mind the idea that the learning environment can do wonders for the students behavior which in turn can have a major impact on their learning and motivation for their classes.
