Attention Getting Signals: Let’s Mix It Up!

Whether you’re a new or experienced teacher, strategies for getting your students’ attention are essential to your classroom-management toolkit. When it is time for students to stop, focus, or transition to a new activity, attention-getters should do the job quickly and efficiently.  As with many classroom strategies, what works for one teacher may not work for another, and the same may be true from class to class. It’s important to be playful, try out different signals for different situations, and don’t be afraid to incorporate movement, music, or rhyme! 

Reflection Question:
Why is it helpful to use different signals in different situations?

Learners Edge and Teaching Channel have partnered together to bring teachers across the country personalized professional development, whether you have ten minutes or ten hours. Together our full-time staff of 70+ professionals, and our broad network of more than 300 master teachers and partners, work together in service to educators by providing the joy of learning, positively impacting student achievement, and preparing educators for a lifetime of career success.
