Question 1

Accepted Answer

D. Establishing clear, consistent, and practiced routines for all transitions. — Clear and consistent routines are crucial for smooth transitions, helping students understand expectations and move between activities efficiently without confusion or disruption. While unstructured play has its benefits, it won't solve chaotic transitions, and a loud signal alone doesn't teach the 'how' of transitioning effectively.
