On-Task Behavior From Kim walker, a third grad teacher at Sunset Elementary in St. George, Utah: "One year I had an extremely squirmy class and there was more direting going on than teaching. With the class I developed a signal to cover all the directions at once. The cue is 'bluehod." It stands for 'Back to back of chair, Legs under desks, Eyes on speaker, Hands On Desk.' I used it as a verbal cue for many years and then decided in some situations a silent signal could send the same message. I simply tap my shoulder, either shoulder, either hand. It is kind of a game and we see how quicly everyone reponds. It has extended past the clasroom to the halls, library, assemblies. Because of this, it has come to mean do what is expected for that particular situation. It has worked well for me and any friends who have tried it. Keep it quick and fun."
