100 Percent
1) 100 percent strategy is a strategy used by teachers to let students know that they expect full compliance of rules in the classroom all of the time. The key to this strategy is to understand that all behavioral expectations must be reasonable. By doing this as a teacher you avoid students sliding under the radar or going unnoticed when you ask them to do something because you will not move on until everyone is in compliance.
2) 100 percent strategy should work because by setting clear expectations you encourage good behaviors. This is also an authoritative approach which means you have high expectations for your classroom, but you let them know the reasons behind the expectation. There is another approach similar to the authoritative called authoritarian which also has high expectations, but does not provide explanation. This is important because students need to understand that you are in control, but they also need to know that you have reasoning behind your expectations. When the students know that the rules and expectations are logical and have a specific purpose they are more inclined to comply in the classroom.
3) As a Physical Education teacher the 100 percent strategy for may go something like this. I would have specific signals to grab the attention of my students, such as when I blow my whistle twice I expect all students to freeze and put their eyes on me for instruction. Other class rules and expectations may be as follows:
1. No speaking while I am speaking to ensure that everyone hears future instruction or class content.
2. When entering the gym/classroom everyone get to their assigned spots and may speak quietly to their neighbor while preparing for my instruction.
3. When in the gym, when I blow my whistle once that lets the students know that there are 30 seconds left of a specific activity and they should begin to wind down and prepare for my double whistle.
4. I expect respect and fairness between all students as well as myself to avoid conflict.
