We talk and talk and talk. and very often we are frustrated by the feeling that our students simply aren't listening or aren't taking our verbal instructions seriously. It has been proven that over 82% of a teacher's communication with his or her students in the classroom is NONVERBAL. Why should we waste our breath on the classroom process rather than use it for our content? Especially when nonverbal management techniques are so much more effective? This book presents, in addition to a bit of theory, a huge number of practical tips and tools that can be implemented immediately in the classroom and that allow teachers to do what they actually became teachers to do - to teach!
