Ripple effects
Overlapping
- The teacher knows or gives off the perception that they know everthing that is going on in the room
- When calling out misbehavior it is important to find the instigator of the situation and not another student
- Keep you back to the wall when scanning the room
Ripple effect- When one student is called out for misbehavior the other students tend to stop or not do that action
Ripple effects are more effective when:
-The student is given a reason why the student should not conduct that behavior
-Correction is given at the beginning of the year
- Corrected firmly
Overlapping is when two things must be handled at once
Some may call it multitasking other swtiching between tasks very quickly
This concept connects to or "overlaps" with the other two
Ex. students in hallways, group work feedback
Momentum/smoothness
Summary/preparation
Momentum: Flowing through the lesson at a consistant pace with few slowdowns. This helps with students misbehaving and gives less downtime
Smoothness: staying on task, not abruptly changing the lesson or getting distracted
Plan out transtions and try to make them as simple and straightforward as possible
-Focus on key points when transitioning not details
-Transitions are one of the biggest wasters of intructional time
Group alerting: Attempting to maintain the attention of the class- asking questions, vary students called upon, keep them on their toes
Accountability: Record keeping (student and teacher), checklists/tasklists. Students do better and stay on task better when held accountable for what they do
