I am sure we all will agree to listen is that the most difficult task that one must perform. Who wouldn t wish to be lost in La La Land where we will eat
whatever we would like, be the superhero we would like to be, visit places that haven t been explored and usually be during a happy place.
Then we hear Attention please! which disturbs our comfort zone. it s a phrase that we ve heard all our lives ..as children, as adults wonder why ???
Attention is the key to any learning process. It s a cognitive skill that will help children to adults to achieve school, at work, and in their relationships. it s easy
to concentrate on tasks that we enjoy and are exciting to us, whereas it s difficult to pay sustained attention to tasks that aren t interesting to us. Some
attention strategies within the classroom help teachers to urge the attention of each student.
Paying attention depends on various factors physiological, emotional, social needs, age, interest, internal /external stimuli, environment, aspirations, etc.
At our CBSE schools in Chikkabanavara we as teachers need to specialize in a couple of aspects of Theory of Attention or attention strategies which may

So how can we grab and sustain attention as teachers during a classroom to maximize learning?
Following Points are The Attention Strategies In The Classroom And Tips-
Clap-Response
At our CBSE schools near Hesaraghatta main road, our Teacher claps in a rhythmic manner,and students repeat the same. The teacher makes variations in
her number of claps, students pay attention to the change in the number & rhythm of claps. It is followed by the children giving the same response.
Class, Yes + Voice Modulation
At our School Near Hesaragatta Teacher says, Class class . Students reply, Yes yes . The teacher modulates Class class in different ways and students
to match Yes yes accordingly.
Ball Throw
This strategy encourages learners to concentrate, be alert, answer and avoid chorus responses. Once an educator has asked an issue, the student who is
prepared with the solution gives eye contact with the teacher, she then throws the ball to him. The student then throws the ball to his peer who wants to
answer next and has given him eye contact.
Control Thoughts
We can teach older learners to regulate their thoughts by being conscious of what they re doing and refocus on this. This is often the most strategy to grab
attention within the classroom.
