Perfect for middle school

I use this in class as a signal of attention. As a teacher with 14 years of experience, I have very strong class management. However, this call took him up ten steps, it's so easy to catch the attention of my students. You know what it means when the bell rings. The best part is that I can also let it ring when I'm talking in the hallway and they're too loud, or when I'm walking next door to help another teacher. This is something no other attention signal is capable of. When I enter my classroom, it is always quiet there. Is always. I also do a lot of collaborative work and small group discussions, so I needed a way to quickly and effectively bring the kids together for a whole class discussion. At my school we use hand signals and callbacks, which are sometimes nice but not always flashy and convenient. My call gets their attention quickly and easily, and I can call them multiple times in a row if needed to really get their attention. It was also more helpful than this school year's chime for those who have lost their voice several times due to illness. I'm not saying this alone will get your students in line. You really need to have a class management plan, and first you need to set certain expectations. However, this tool makes it easy and consistent to implement your class management plan. I bought this bell at the beginning of the school year and have been using it every day since. My students even have fun pressing the button and calming the class down themselves. I could go on and on but I'm telling you, you need to have this in your classes. No matter how long or how little you teach. This is a game changer!
