Answer: D - The following are all non-verbal forms of communication which can be used as part of an effective classroom management system EXCEPT parent contact. Parent contact involves the verbal or written communication of important facts.

Eye contact, including “the look,” simply communicates to the student that the teacher is watching them or did see what they just did. Signaling, such as raising the hand to achieve class-wide attention, can be used silently to affect change in student behavior.
