This means that the teacher should have a range of strategies and approaches to address student misbehavior, depending on the severity and nature of the situation. The term "gentle confrontational contract" suggests a strategy where the teacher confronts the student about their behavior in a gentle and non-threatening manner, while still setting clear expectations and consequences. This approach aims to address the issue while maintaining a positive and respectful relationship with the student.Rate this question:

The phrase "Be prepared" suggests that one should be ready or organized. In the context of the question, it implies that the teacher should have a structured and well-planned lesson. "Hands" and "heads" refer to the students, indicating that they should be actively engaged and attentive during the lesson. The phrase "idle hands are the devil's workshop" means that when people have nothing to do, they are more likely to engage in negative or harmful activities. Similarly, "idle heads magnify the problem" suggests that when students are not focused or actively participating, it exacerbates the issue at hand. Therefore, the correct answer emphasizes the importance of being prepared and ensuring student engagement in order to avoid potential problems.Rate this question:

An effective IEA may ask the students to respond to a question from a _________lesson or begin previewing today’s lesson. It is designed to focus the attention of the students while preparing them to learn so that the teacher may complete clerical duties such as taking ___________. Most discipline problems occur at the beginning and the end of class, and IEAs help to get the class period started on the right foot.
Explanation
The correct answer is "Engagement previous attendance." This answer accurately reflects the idea that an Introductory Engagement Activity (IEA) allows the class to begin as the students enter the room, not when the teacher decides to begin class. The IEA is designed to engage students and focus their attention while preparing them to learn. It may involve reviewing previous attendance or engaging students in a question related to the previous lesson or the upcoming lesson.

Explanation
The correct answer is "visual side". In the given question, it is stated that eliminating visual barriers between the teacher and students is important. This refers to situations where the teacher is behind their desk and students approach to hand in assignments or tests. The visual barrier created by the desk prevents the teacher from having a full view of the class, which can lead to disruptive behavior by some students.

Continuously move about the room in a manner that allows the teacher to see as many students as possible. Avoid prolonged standing in a position that places students at your back.
Explanation
Positioning yourself in a way that allows you to see the entire class is important because it ensures that the teacher can monitor and engage with all students effectively. By continuously moving around the room, the teacher can prevent neglecting certain areas of the class for an extended period of time while assisting a student. Avoiding standing in a position that places students at your back is crucial as it may hinder the teacher's ability to observe and interact with those students.Rate this question:

Explanation
The correct answer is "projector eliminating" because using a projector instead of a chalkboard allows the teacher to face the class and maintain eye contact with students. Additionally, the use of pre-made transparencies eliminates the need for the teacher to write in front of the class. If class control is a problem, writing on the chalkboard requires the teacher to turn their back on the class, which can be avoided by using a projector.Rate this question:

A student who is looking around while taking a test is either trying to find the teacher for help or they are looking to see if the teacher is ____________.
Explanation
The teacher should constantly circulate behind the students while watching them. By moving around the room, the teacher creates the impression that they are utilizing the entire space and can be present anywhere. This is beneficial during tests because it prevents students from knowing the exact location of the teacher or where the teacher is looking. If a student is looking around during a test, it could indicate that they are seeking assistance from the teacher or checking if the teacher is observing them.Rate this question:

Adjust the location of student __________ to promote or limit student-student interaction. Placing students in _________ limits interaction; placing desks together in small groups enhances student-student interaction. Students working in cooperative groups are not as noisy if their desks are pushed together. The teacher can always direct the class to rearrange the seating before and after the activity. All seating arrangements must allow the teacher easy access and close proximity to all students.
Explanation
Placing students in rows limits interaction as they are facing forward and not able to easily communicate with each other. On the other hand, placing desks together in small groups enhances student-student interaction as they are able to collaborate and communicate more easily. This arrangement promotes cooperative learning and allows for group discussions. The teacher can easily move around the classroom and monitor the students' progress in both seating arrangements.Rate this question:
