Classroom management is the key to everything in our classrooms. And one of the key pieces of classroom management is being able to get your students’ attention easily and effectively, no matter what’s happening in the classroom. And sure, there are lots of ways to achieve this, but most of those methods require more noise, which can easily escalate into more chaos. Trust me. I’ve been there. After trying the clapping method for attention-getting and it becoming a standing ovation each time, I decided there had to be a better, more effective way. And that’s when the wireless doorbell came into our classroom 14 years ago!
How Does The Wireless Doorbell For Classrooms Work?
It’s actually incredibly simple. You purchase The Doorbell by TKS. It’s the only doorbell created by a teacher for teachers specifically for classrooms!
Plug the receiver into any outlet in the classroom.
The button comes on a sparkly lanyard. Yep. Sparkly. And already on a lanyard so need for anything extra. No more hot gluing clothespins. Just a stylish, sparkly lanyard!
At the beginning of the year, we learn the procedure and expectations for the doorbell. When the doorbell rings, you stop. Put your hands in your lap or at your side. Look at Mr. Greg and you’re quiet.
