A class repeatedly loses time when moving from group work to whole-class discussion. Which response is most likely to improve the transition?

Correct answer: Teach, practise and cue a brief transition routine. Teaching, practising, and cueing a brief transition routine makes transitions quicker and more predictable.

• Increase homework until learners become more organised. More homework does not teach a transition routine.
• Change the transition procedure every week. Changing the routine weekly prevents it from becoming habitual.
• Wait for learners to discover a routine independently. Waiting for learners to discover a routine wastes lesson time.
