Make Your School Awesome Staff
September 7, 2021
As we begin our new school year it is important to establish rules and procedures that will help guide positive classroom behaviors. Call - And - Response chants are a fun and exciting way to keep your students focused and engaged. Call - And - Response techniques are nothing new, they are regularly used in society to engage crowds by boosting morale and focus. Many of these callback chants can be positive, inspiring, and informative to help keep students on task. Depending on the grade level that you teach, callback responses can be effective from Pre-K up to high school. Create a callback response for your students that best fits their needs all while being age-appropriate.
