#164: The Secret to Seamless Center Transitions (Without Saying a Word)
What if I told you I have my students switch centers or stations everyday without me saying anything? Freeing me up to work one-on-one with students or in small groups at the back of my classroom for an average of an hour a day. What could you do with that extra hour? Could you help individual students make the leaps in growth that you've been craving?
Today, I am talking about how my students transition from one center to another without me. All with a little help from music and a timer. Managing a classroom doesn't have to be hard during centers. Especially when students are responsible for their behaviors without you.
We'll be talking about how the use of classroom jobs, how I transition my kids using music, and how my students run centers without me, lead to an enjoyable experience for everyone. So much so that I can teach at the teacher table guilt-free, while sipping my hot cup of chai.
