Signing is a powerful tool for behavior management in the classroom.

1. Signing requires eye contact, which automatically helps draw students’ attention to the teacher. When teachers use signs to cue transitions and new activities, students will be prepared to look and listen for new directions.
2. Signing can help students stay actively engaged — and quiet — as they move through the hallways.
3. Signing is an effective tool for helping younger students calm down. Signs require large, slow movements or repetitive, melodic actions, which have a natural flow and calming effect on children.
4. Teachers who sign in their classrooms report that signing helps create a more harmonious environment because students are not only more tuned in to what the teacher is doing, they pay more attention to each other as well.
5. Signing is easy and fun!
