How can teachers effectively get through a transitional period in the classroom?
When transitioning from one subject to another, or when students come in from break, there can be large disruptions that eat away at class time. Students are being too loud or not on task, to them it almost seems like its all over when they transition in the classroom. The question that I focused my research around is “How can teachers effectively get through a transitional period in the classroom?” There are three types of transitions: entering class and taking a seat, switching from one activity to another, and exiting class. Just like with any academic procedure, these transitions require clear expectations, rehearsal, and review. In this project, I looked at how students act during transitional periods, how teachers get through a transition, and what could get teachers through the transitional period easier.
