\n\"\"This is simple, non-verbal, \u201ccall and response\u201d tool for the classroom. It is a quick way to get student\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

This tool is a quick, simple tool that grabs the attention of the class. As the teacher raises their hand, the students respond by also raising their hand in return. The teacher keeps their hand up until all the students notice and quiet their voices. The teacher can acknowledge in a soft voice the students who immediately notice the signal, and it will help draw in the attention of the other students. The teacher will wait until all the students are quiet and mirroring the hand signal to move onto their message to the class. It is an easy tactic if the teacher needs to tell the class something quick and then allow them to get back to work.<\/p>\n

\"\"This preventative phase is teacher-directed and collaborative. It is teacher-directed because it is the instructor getting the attention of the students to add additional information to what the students are working on. It draws their attention away from whatever they are involved with and towards the teacher. This signal is collaborative as well. This is a signal to quickly help the students get the information they need right away from their teacher. It also brings down the noise level of the classroom rather than having students get riled up. This should be taught at the beginning of the year for students to understand as a tool for the classroom.<\/p>\n
