Back to School Science Giveaway

I’ve teamed up with a bunch of secondary science authors to give away FIVE, $100 Teachers Pay Teachers gift certificates this back-to-school season.  Also, I’ll also be giving away TEN, $10 gift certificates of my own.

You can enter the contests below, but I wanted to throw a great tip your way on how to bring your class to attention.

I learned this in my last year of the classroom and wished I had heard about it so much sooner.   Leave the bells, loud voices, and flicking light switches at home.  This strategy is the absolute most useful thing to get a class ready to listen.

Raise your hand.  Yes, raise your hand in the air and wait.

Do this on the first day of school when you’re ready to talk to the class for the first time.  What you’re looking for is everyone else to raise their hand as well.  When it’s dead silent, and all hands are in the air, then you can begin.

Pro Tip: DO NOT start unless it’s dead silent.  You may have to wait 20 seconds, but you will be amazed at how efficient it is.

You can do this throughout the entire year with your class, including during a lab when you need to break from the chaos and get everyone’s attention.  It’s a game-changer.

This ONE (<—-  That’s secret word #13) tip will save you so much stress.
