Fundamental 5: Work in the Power Zone
Take a look at the video and think about where you are during most of your lessons. Are you behind your desk? Are you the sage on the stage at the front of the room? Are you truly in the Power Zone and among your students as you teach?
The Power Zone gives you a chance to address behavior issues immediately and manage tranistions effectively. Working in the Power Zone is guaranteed to improve instruction. Start using it today! I look forward to 'Catching you in the Power Zone" this week!
