Educational Psychology / Unit 11 EDP 1018 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Withitness and Overlapping
Captions available
The idea
Jacob Kounin found that effective managers show withitness, awareness of everything happening in the room, and overlapping, handling two things at once; experienced teachers show more of both.
In practice
While conferring with one student, a teacher signals another across the room to get back to work.
Where people slip
Withitness is the awareness; overlapping is acting on two things simultaneously.
