Praxis II PLT K-6

Answer: A - Explicitly teaching expectations, encouraging discussions and monitoring noise levels are all strategies for fostering both verbal and non-verbal forms of communication. When expectations are explicitly taught, students are less likely to be engaged in “testing” to determine what the limits of the teacher are regarding such things as communication within the classroom. Not all teachers require a quiet room. Many instructional styles allow moderate to large amounts of classroom noise as long as it provides for appropriate verbal and non-verbal forms of communication to be effective within the lesson being taught.
