I plan, establish AND communicate expectations so students know EXACTLY what to do and when to do it.I define a starting and ending time.
I chunk tasks.

I consistently use attention prompts
What percentage of the day would STUDENTS say you sit down to teach?

I use student white boards to check for understanding.
My voice is energetic and positive.
The majority of my questions are assessment type questions. (requires only one student answer)
