This experience is important to my education as a pre-service teacher because attention getting strategies are crucial to educators. Gaining this experience will assist in selecting effective strategies to gather student attention in my future classroom. Through using an attention getting strategy that my CT already uses, I was able to see the effectiveness of continuously reinforcing procedures.
Effective attention getting strategies are critical in running a cohesive classroom. This experience will assist in making decisions regarding which strategy is best to my future students. It has also provided me with an insight into how these strategies should be implemented. I have completed this management task multiple times since initially completing it. Each time I feel as though I gain experience and insight into how to gather attention effectively.
