Principle 2: EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
Pacing
Rationale: When a teacher allocates a specific time to an activity or assignment, it creates a sense of urgency, teaches deadlines and time management.
Description: Use an online timer or other visible device so students are aware of how much time is given and the progress of time. Ask students how much time they need to finish a task. "Show me with your fingers how many more minutes you need," be thoughtful about how much time you are providing (don't offer 2 minutes for something that might take 30 seconds).
