Toronto Teacher Goes Viral for Innovative "67" Classroom Management Technique
A Toronto-based educator, known online as TheSandyLion, has garnered significant attention for her innovative approach to classroom management, leveraging a popular viral trend to engage her sixth-grade students. The teacher implemented a system where she initiates the phrase '6,' and her students respond with '7,' immediately followed by silence. This technique, inspired by a phrase that has been circulating widely among young people, aims to capture students' attention effectively and restore order in the classroom. The SandyLion explained her rationale, stating, "If you want kids' attention, you have to meet them where they’re at. It’s about finding those little things they already connect to and flipping it into something positive for the classroom." She acknowledged that while the method might seem "ridiculous" to some, its effectiveness in maintaining student engagement and getting them "right back on track" is undeniable. The video showcasing this unique strategy has rapidly spread online, sparking discussions among educators and parents about creative methods for student engagement in contemporary learning environments.
