Our initial reaction when seeing the following infographic from Mia
MacMeekin was to think about instructional design rather than classroom
management.
That is, work backwards from a
student-centered, inquiry-based, self-directed, and inherently personalized
learning model where students, while plugged in to relevant digital and
physical communities and working closely with mentors and peers, solved
important and authentic problems through a mix of design, creativity, and macro
critical thinking.
Then we awoke from our naps, wiped the
drool from our lips, and realized that for many teachers, the reality they face
each day is very traditional:
1. Establish a learning target
2. Create lesson for students to
practice mastery of said target
3. Assess
4. Repeat
And in that model, being able to
redirect students, get their attention, and refocus them on the lesson is the
job of the teacher–and one an expert teacher deftly integrates into the
assessment, time management, unit design, and all of the on-the-fly adjustments
therein.
So with that context in mind–and
parallel to the related graphic 27 ways to check for understanding–is the following image: 27 Ways To Respond When Students Don’t
Pay Attention.
