The buzzword for today's teacher training session: consistency. Consistency in teachers leads to predictable students. Personally, I thought that was pretty hokey, but I get the point behind it.
When students know what to expect every day (rules, routine, etc) there is a sense of security. I've sat in on teachers who are amazing at developing that rhythm. Everything just seems to flow seamlessly into the next event and there's minimal disruption.
As I sat w/ some other teachers, we kinda realized that sometimes you develop that awareness of timing and rhythm through experience. Keep things simple, have clear expectations, and be consistent in all that you do.
