#69: How to give instructions that students get (and follow!!). Avoiding classroom confusion and chaos by using the 'Get Ready, Get Set, Go!' strategy.
About this episode
This week, I dive into Pillar 5 of "It's Never Just About the Behavior." In this episode, I emphasize the importance of clarity in your holistic classroom management approach, and provide practical strategies to ensure students understand and meet expectations.
Today I discuss:
- The Importance of Clarity in Expectations:
- Why clear communication is crucial for student success
- How assumptions about student knowledge can lead to misunderstandings and a whole bunch of chaos
- Get Ready, Get Set, Go Strategy: A step-by-step guide to delivering effective instructions
- Examples of how to implement this strategy in various classroom scenarios
Today's episode is based on Pillar 5 of my book It's Never Just About the Behaviour: A holistic approach to classroom behaviour management
