Classroom Management: Listening Look

At the start of the year we will establish a “Listening Look.” This shows that students are focused on the speaker. Our listening look includes eyes and ears on the person speaking and hands clasped together (so as not to be fidgeting with anything).

We save this look for important messages and guests or to redirect the class if it is getting a bit chaotic. I will ask for the "Listening Look" and clasp my hands together. The students will stop what they are doing and look directly at me, giving me their undivided attention.

In August we will take a photo of the class sporting the listening look.
