You know how sometimes you’re giving directions and no one’s listening?
Yeah… that’s because we talk too long.

Here’s how I fix it:

I count down from 5 to get attention.

I only ask for 30 seconds of focus.

I break big directions into small bites.

It keeps me concise and helps every kid—especially those who struggle with processing—actually do what I’m asking.

Teachers, try this tomorrow and see how fast your class runs smoother.
