Classroom Transition

When we start the school year, I will set up clear classroom rules that these student will help to create. I will make sure that these rules are observable by each student in class. Meanwhile, I will provide my students with specific examples of how my students will follow those rules. Besides setting rules in my classroom, I will use the first and second weeks to help them to transition all the way through the day. These rules must be clear and concise with good directions on how to go through conflicting transitions. I will offer many occasions for the students to practice during the transition periods.

The students will be given specific instructions to stop what they are doing, do something with their hands, and have their eyes on me, listening for my directions or instructions. For example, during reading lessons, when it comes to transition and the students must listen to the directions about how to move forward with the reading class, then I would initiate the clapping pattern and would ask my students to finish it. Lastly, I would tell my students to put their hands in the air followed by their head, and to keep their hands there by the time they are looking and listening during the time I am giving directions. Having the students look and listen ensures that they are ceasing whatever they were doing and really focusing on listening to the next set of directions. In addition to the clapping pattern I will make sure that the students are paying attention to all directions I am giving, especially during the direct instructional activity. Before I start giving directions, I will make sure that every student is on task and completing the activity. Teachers also need to examine the learning environment. The fact that a student starts his tasks and does not finish them can be caused by the teacher’s poorly planned or disorganized lesson because these are some of the factors that influence students with learning disabilities such as ADHD’s attention in classroom
