Jacob Kounin

1. Accountability- The teacher holds all members of the class responsible for their learning and
behavior.

2. Dangles- The teacher continues to find materials, reviews lesson plans, and talks with individual
students when the class as a whole is ready for instruction

3. Desists- The teacher engages in an effort to stop a misbehavior

4. Flip-flops- The teacher is engaged in one activity and then returns to a precious activity that the
students thought they had finished

5. Fragmentation- The teacher engages in a type of slowdown

Group Alerting- The teacher obtains and holds the attention of the class, both at the beginning of a
lesson and as the activities change within a lesson

6. Group Focus- The teacher keeps the attention of all members of the class at all times, which assists in
maintaining an efficient classroom and reducing students' misbehavior

7. Jerkiness- The teacher fails to develop a consistent flow of instruction, thus causing students to feel
lesson momentum jerks from slow to fast

8. Movement Management- The teacher keeps lessons and groups engaged at an appropriate pace,
with smooth transitions and varying activities

9. Over-Dwelling- The teacher dwells on an issue and engages in a stream of talk clearly longer than the
time needed for students' understanding

10. Overlapping- The teacher supervises and attends to more than one group activity at the same time

11. Ripple Effect- The teacher corrects one student or calls attention to one student for his or her
misbehavior and it ripples to other students causing them to behave better.

12. Satiation- The students have focused on one learning aspect too long and begin to lose interest,
make more mistakes and misbehave.

13. Slowdowns- The teacher, when teaching, moves too slowly and stops instruction too often. Thus the
students lose interest or learning momentum.

14. Stimulus Bound- The teacher has the students engaged in a lesson and then something attracts his
or her attention, she or he loses the instructional focus and momentum while dealing with the other
issue.

15. Thrust- The teacher teaches too slowly or too fast or switches back and forth, thus failing to acquire
and whole an appropriate momentum for students to learn.

16. Truncation- The teacher engages in a dangle, yet fails to resume the original, dropped activity.

17. With-it-ness- The teacher perceives everything in all areas of the classroom at all times.
