Time Wasters
To make matters worse, there are all sorts of things that teachers may do that take away time in the classroom, most of which can be easily eliminated with advanced planning and practice:
- When a teacher takes time to write on the white board for students to copy
- When a teacher takes time to pass out papers, or collect them
- When a teacher repeats exactly what a student just said, or even worse, repeats himself several times
- When a teacher loses time in transitioning from one activity to another
- When a teacher does not have an effective system that minimizes the effect of students leaving class for the restroom or the office
- When a teacher does not have a system for absent students to catch up with the classwork missed
Valuable information with resources and tips.
