Want to stop minor classroom management disruptions without even mentioning it to your students?

Then use “cueing” to stop the classroom management disruption.

Cueing is basically getting all your students to respond in a way that is NOT compatible with any undesired behavior.

For example, if a teacher is handing out a worksheet and has her students clear their desks of everything except something to write with, then that stops the two girls in the back who were writing notes to their friends…

…when a teacher has all students write down an answer to a question rather than having just a few students raise their hands it forces the boy in the other corner to put down the paper airplane and pick up his pen to write down an answer…

…when a teacher has students put their heads down on the desk and visualize what life must have been like as a slave as the teacher reads about life on board the Middle Passage it will most certainly redirect and refocus Johnny and Suzy from talking about their weekend plans…

Cueing, when done properly, can be an extremely effective classroom management strategy AND instructional strategy.
