            How to Get the Teacher's Attention

     
       
Introduce Skill Some of you do an excellent job of getting the teacher's    
What? attention in the proper way.  This is a skill we all need many    
When? times a day.  When do we need to get the teacher's    
Who? attention?  (When we need help or need to tell the teacher    
  something.)  Who else's attention might we need to get?    
  (Principal or any adult in authority.)      
         
Describe Skill Steps 1. Look at the person.      
  2. Raise your hand.      
  3. Wait for acknowledgement.      
  4. After acknowledgement, ask question in quiet voice tone.    
         
Rationale When you get the teacher's attention in this way, he can    
Benefit quickly answer your questions and those of other students    
Neg. Consequence with a minimum of distraction.      
Concern        
         
Request for Acknowledgment Does this make sense?  Who would like to repeat the steps for me using the poster?    
         
Practice 1. Place students in groups of three for role play.    
  2. Each group chooses a teacher and two students.    
  3. One student uses the social skill properly, and one does not.    
  4. As class listens, groups take turns role playing.    
  5. Class members decide who is using the skill correctly and why.    
  6. Students earn stickers for every right choice.
