Demonstration Teacher, Yas-Meen West, demonstrates how she uses the PBiS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) 4:1 ratio strategy to promote a positive classroom learning environment. Watch as a tally keeps track of her use of positive acknowledgements verses corrective statements during a seventh grade math lesson.

Video #9 - Jigsaw The Jigsaw strategy requires learners to rely on each other in order to learn new material. In this strategy each student is given a new piece of learning to master. After they read or research their section of the learning, they get into small groups called Home Groups (all students in this group have read or researched the same topic) to compare notes and create presentations. Next, students move into Expert Groups, in which each student has a different piece of information. Students then present for their Expert Group. Other members of the Expert Group are actively listening, taking notes and asking questions during the presentations. Finally, Expert Groups are broken up and students move back to their Home Group to compare notes about each of the presentations they have heard in their Expert Group. Then an assessment is given to ensure the proper learning took place. 9th of 10 videos in a row from the TeachLikeThis channel launch! Then weekly videos to follow.

Get the rest of the videos - http://www.noisyclass.com This video explains a little-used, often-forgotten but very effective classroom management strategy for taking control of really tough groups of students right at the start of lessons. This Classroom Management method is for really challenging, noisy groups that take ages to settle, cost you a lot of time and cause you a lot of stress and frustration. You'll learn WHY some noisy groups of students take longer than others to settle down and HOW to get them in a state where they are more likely to stop talking and listen to you so that they enter your classroom on YOUR terms.
