Which technique emphasizes being visibly aware of student behavior to prevent problems?

• A. Make Expectations Visible
• B. Radar and Be Seen Looking
• C. Least Invasive Intervention
• D. Firm, Calm Finesse

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is proactive monitoring through visible presence. Radar and Be Seen Looking means the teacher deliberately scans the room and makes their attention noticeable. By moving around, scanning faces, and maintaining eye contact or a calm, near-proximity stance, you detect early signs of potential misbehavior or disengagement before it escalates. This early detection lets you intervene with quick, nonverbal cues or near-proximity shifts, keeping disruptions from forming while you continue instruction. The approach works because students perceive that you’re watching and expect accountability, which tends to deter problems and maintain momentum in the lesson. The other ideas focus on different aspects—posting expectations, using the least invasive response after issues arise, or adjusting tone and style—without centering on the continuous, visible awareness of students’ behavior that prevents problems in real time.
