  Case: Outside interruptions
What can I do about the constant interruptions from the office and children sent from other classes with messages?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
These interruptions really cannot be avoided. I would just inform my students that interruptions are always going to be a part of the day, but we have to stay focused as much as possible. I would try to keep the interruptions as brief as possible. If a teacher comes by to bring some papers I would not spend 5 minutes talking about the faculty meeting that afternoon. We would get to the point of the interruption and move on with the lesson as soon as possible. The important thing is that the students always have your attention and the interruptions are limited in any way possible.

Comments: Interruptions often can't be helped but keeping them brief keeps students form going too off task. Also having procedures and potentially work ready for students in the event of an interruption can help.
