during instruction and co-curricular activities. The following can serve as your guide in
keeping order during instruction and co-curricular activities.

1. Model the behavior your CT wants to achieve among the students.


2. Use positive presence by moving around and making frequent eye contact
with students who show signs of misbehaving.
3. Help in enforcing the rules and students’ compliance with your CT’s
directions or instructions.
4. Assist in helping students to gain confidence in doing seatwork, projects,

What are Classroom Transitions?
 Classroom transitions are the time between activities in the classroom. They
start as students arrive and complete their morning routines. They can include
moving from one activity to another (ex: moving from a reading lesson to a math
lesson.) And those times where students leave or enter the classroom, for lunch,
recess, specials, end of the day, etc.

Why do transitions get so crazy?


Transitions create chaos in many different ways. First of all, there are usually a lot of
things going on at the same time. For instance, in a typical transition between small
group lessons, students need to put away center materials, get new materials,
remember which kids are joining the teacher, and move to join the teacher. As they do
all these things, they pass by friends and naturally want to chat with them (think of what
it’s like when you see your favorite co-worker in the morning!)

Then, teachers are often a bit distracted during these transitions – after all, we are
transitioning between activities and need to get out new materials, too. Plus, we deal
with student concerns that pop up during that time (like lost materials, questions, and
tattling.)

Add in the fact that kids move at different speeds, and it makes transitions even trickier!
You’ve seen how half the class can arrive on the carpet in 10 seconds, while the last
child takes well over a minute. That leaves a lot of kids on the rug waiting, with nothing
to do. So they find something to do – chat, braid hair, or wrestle.

From time to time, teachers do a few things that inadvertently add to the chaos.
Sometimes our directions aren’t clear (kids get confused and we have to repeat
ourselves.) Or we sometimes have unrealistic expectations of our students (like asking
a 5 year old to remember a 5-step direction we just rattled off orally).

What can we do to create smooth classroom transitions?

1. Teach students how to transition


Plan and teach the procedures used during the transition. To do this most effectively,
you’ll need to envision the students going through the transition. What steps are
involved in moving from one specific activity to the next? What steps do students need
to be able to do quickly and efficiently? Think specifically about your current class.

Where do things start to fall apart? Noticing and reflecting on these things will help you
anticipate and prevent them in the future.

2. Use an attention signal


An attention signal is vital for classroom management. You need a clear way to get
your students’ attention. This is helps provide announcements, clarify directions,
freezing out of control behavior, or ending the transition. Here are some easy ideas or
attention signals:

 ring a bell or a chime


 flash the lights off then back on
 use a clapping pattern (ex: 3 fast claps, followed by 3 slow claps) – students
repeat the clapping pattern
 call and response routines

But to make the signal effective, you have to practice it. When you first introduce
it, you can have kids talk (or pretend talk) to each other. Then use your signal to get
their attention - model what their behavior should look and sound like when they hear
the call. Repeat the practice 2-3 more times. Later in the year, feel free to introduce a
new signal. Sometimes the new signal is refreshing. Sometimes you need a different
signal when you are in another place (like lining up after PE or not near your light
switch.) Regardless of which you choose, you will find an attention signal incredibly
helpful to classroom transitions.

3. Provide a 5-minute warning


It seems so basic, but this truly is helpful for students. It allows them to adjust their pace
to finish the task; and start thinking about the transition in advance. You might even
use a think-aloud to show them what to think about when you give a five-minute
warning. (Ex: “I have five minutes left, and I want to color the picture on my writing. I
need to finish this sentence quickly, so that I can work on my picture a bit. If I don’t
finish my picture before the timer rings, maybe I can work on it during snack time, too.”)

4. Beat the timer


When you play Beat the Timer, you allow a set amount of time for cleaning up or
transitioning and encourage students to beat that time. Some ideas include:

 a visual timer

 a clean-up song
 “before I count to 10”

This provides students with a visual or auditory cue to help understand how much time
is left. It helps them better pace their transition – and allows a clear-cut end to the
transition.

5. Plan “sponge” activities


Sponge activities are small-time-filling activities. Head off crazy behavior by planning
something engaging during a time that could get out of control. Sponge activities can
be before the whole class or for fast finishers.

SPONGE IDEAS FOR FAS T FINISHERS

First, let’s think about fast finishers. They are students who finish their work quickly and
need something else to do (besides socializing with kids trying to work.) Offer students
a few (slightly engaging) choices if they finish work early. If the activities are too
engaging, kids will rush through work to do them; if they are not engaging, fast finishers
will find other things to do. Here are a few suggestions for your fast finishers:

 read
 write (in a journal, blank book, or a note)
 play a partner math game

WHOLE CLASS SPONGE IDEAS

Whole class sponge activities can be engaging and rewarding. You can use them as
you wait for the final stragglers, or as an intentional break or movement activity. A few
ideas include:

 movement video
 play Simon Says (or a silent version where one leader comes up and students copy
the leader)
 sing a silly song
 do 20 jumping jacks (or other exercises)
 practice counting to 100 (or skip counting)
 allow students to share something from the lesson
