====Component 3  Managing Classroom Procedures ====

Group Size: Whole class
====Source: Santis, B. (2006, August). //Effective teachers are proactive//. Retrieved from http://teachers.net/wong/AUG06/ ==== ====**Explanation of Idea:** This idea has to do with managing the noise levels in the classroom during transitions from subject to subject. It is a simple procedure that teaches the students to get quiet in under five seconds. Once the teacher says, "Give Me Five", the students know that it is the teachers turn to speak and the noise level needs to be at zero while switching to a new subject. Students sometimes forget that they are in a classroom setting during transitioning from subject to subject. This idea goes along with component 3 management of transitions. Give me five contains five different components, 1. eyes on speaker, 2. quiet, 3. be still, 4. hands free, and 5. listening. When transitioning to a new subject it is very important to be very quiet. When it is quiet less instructional is lost, and it gives the students an opportunity to have more time for learning. ==== ====**Assessment Tool:** At the beginning the teacher will time how long it takes to quiet down after she says "Give Me Five". Every time it is used, it should take less time for silence. The teacher will know it is working when the classroom becomes quiet in under 5 seconds. ====
