a timer for 10 minutes during which students are to take out their class spirals, stash away their
backpacks, sharpen their pencils, and then read a book of their choice until the timer sounds.
During that time, the teacher takes attendance, deals with absence excuses, discusses make-up
work, addresses other problems, and drinks a bit of coffee. This teacher's 10-minute beginning-
of-the-class session primarily reflects which of the following means of creating an organized,
productive learning environment?
