In my future practice, I plan to use nonverbal cues to communicate with students and have students communicate with the teacher or peers. For example, I plan to have hand signals for commonly asked questions that will be introduced and reviewed at the beginning of the year. This form of nonverbal cues will lessen distraction and increase student time on task.
Throughout my experience as a pre-service teacher, I have implemented various management strategies. Although verbal management strategies are important, it is evident that nonverbal cues influence the student's behavior whether the educator intends to or not. I have been using nonverbal cues throughout my experiences within the classroom. Through reflecting on this practice, it is evident that nonverbal cues influence the student greatly. If the educator is telling the student to sit on their bottom while smiling (the nonverbal cue of positivity), the student may not take the teacher seriously. If the student is talking and the educator looks at them sternly, the student will understand the nonverbal cue and correct the behavior.
