JACOB KOUNIN'S PREVENTATIVE APPROACH (7)
1. With-it-ness: the ability to know what is going on in all parts of the room
(eyes at the back of your head) act before it spreads
2. Momentum: begin and conclude lesson on a strong note, keep lessons
moving ahead, make transitions efficient
3. Smoothness: help keep children involved, avoid nagging and repetition
4. Group alerting: gaining student attention, oversee the whole group
