When Mr. Boothe meets with students who misbehave, he generally has them sit at desks; he stands nearby and speaks to them about his concerns. He often crosses his arms over his chest and stares pointedly at them. Given what you know about effective communication skills for teaching, what is your evaluation of Mr. Boothe's practice?
a. It's ineffective because good communicators use unambiguous but non-threatening body language.
b. It's ineffective because he should use variety in the way he responds to student misbehavior.
c. It's effective, because his stance reminds the students that he is the authority figure in the class.
d. It's effective because he can quickly move around to keep the students' attention.
