A student teacher can't understand why her preschool class has such a hard time moving between center activities and large group activities. She has to raise her voice and remind them several times before they begin to comply. What would be a recommended way to improve this situation for everyone?
A) Discontinue centers and rely on whole group, direct instruction activities only.
B) Plan a series of lessons that would teach appropriate behavior and institute a token system to reward the children who behave well.
C) Demonstrate and practice concrete ways to transition from one activity to anothera work song to signal clean up, wind chimes to signal a move to centers, or asking children to freeze in place to get their attention before giving instructions.
D) Assume that the children's parents have allowed this to occur at home and decide that it isn't worth the trouble to try to teach it.
