1. Students learn the importance of a "teacher look" as it gets used often by the teacher. When I give my "teacher look" my students seem to automatically know that they need to stop doing something or get themselves back on track. They also know that it is a warning almost, before I come closer to them and verbally tell them to stop or tell them to stop from where I am. 

2. Effective times to use the "teacher look" are when students are conversing more than they are working, when they are off task, when you have learned the signs/behaviors they exhibit before they do something inappropriate or wrong, etc.

3. Mrs. Noonan says that every teacher needs to have a "teacher look" because it honestly helps. It redirects the child in a subtle way to change the behavior or action before having to verbally tell them to stop or remove them from a certain area. It's like telling them "I see what you are doing, please fix it" without actually saying it.

Students learn the importance of a teacher look because in the moment it's a non-verbal communcation between the teacher and the student. It's important to have a teacher look so that way the teacher isn't constantly addressing unwanted behavior infront of the whole class. Giving the teacher look to a student provides them another opportunity to make a better choice.

Students have been getting the "teacher look" from probably every teacher they have ever had, they know it is a gentle nudge to get them back on track.  I think it's important to have one to keep distractions in the classroom as minimal as possible and it shows respect for the child and allows them choice to get back on task without other interaction from the teacher.

The teacher look is important because you want the student to know that they need to redirect their behavior and you are giving them a chance. Students learn the importance of this look because they need to know that they have another chance to make a better choice but they were given a warning. An effective time to use this strategy is when a student needs a reminder of the expectations. They suggest that every teacher has this look to provide a quick and easy warning signal. 

Definitely understand the teacher look. It is very similar to a "Mom Look". By using this method, correction in behavior can made without getting to a public call out. I know I've received this look before
