At a school assembly, a third-grade teacher’s class is behaving poorly, talking amongst themselves and misbehaving while they are supposed to be listening quietly. She notices that the second-graders are behaving better than her third-graders. Which of the following best describes what the third-grade teacher should have done to make her students listen at the assembly?
  1. There is nothing she could have done. Sometimes you get a bad batch of students.
  2. Threaten to take away one of their privileges if they fail to listen.
  3. Remove her students from the situation so they do not distract the rest of the school.
  4. Tell them what the assembly is about before going and discuss the who, what, and why of the assembly.
Explanation
Answer: D - The third-grade teacher whose class is misbehaving should tell them what the assembly is about before going and discuss the who, what, and why of the assembly. By setting expectations of them and telling them points to look for and listen to, the teacher is setting them up for success instead of setting them up for failure. It helps students to know what they are listening for and what is expected of them.
