How can I best keep children engaged and focused during "down time" so they won't pick on each other? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would deal with this issue by establishing a "No Talking" rule during transitions. This can already be a time when the volume level increases and it may be better to not allow the students to talk at all while they are transitioning from one activity to another. If there are specific students who keep bullying, then they need to be confronted at an appropriate time and they should deal with the proper consequences that have been established.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original No Comments: A no talking rule seems very appropriate with the climate of this classroom Rated On: February 17, 2015 10:49 pm Rated By: sezyQe                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Having clear procedures for transitions and monitoring to enforce consequences should solve this problem.
