Why should I do it:
- Let’s the student know you are interested and concerned
- Reduces students’ anxiety that they’re issue, concern, problem, and thoughts will not be addressed
- Addresses the student and potential disruption immediately
- Teaches students to delay gratification
- Saves class time and prevents disruptions
- Provides structure, predictability, and consistency
- Validates students’ feelings, emotions, and individual value
- Makes students feel they are being heard
- Increase compliance
- Reduces disruptiveness of students
When should I do it:
- When a student has a strong desire to share things with you but doesn’t know how to wait to share
- When a student interrupts a lot, asks questions at inappropriate times, is impatient, or has trouble delaying gratification
- When a student is agitated, angry, and wants to stop everything to resolve their personal issues
