How can thinking about the cumulative effects of small things help in or out of the class room?
Was the question we are required to answer any help is greatly appreciated
I'm assuming by small things they mean like making sure each student has notebook paper or a pencil before you begin class. Anything that takes little effort or of very little monetary value to complete.
If that's the case then thing about my pencil/paper example
If the student didn't have those material they would not take notes work problems and may refuse to participate altogether this could cause them to not achieve your daily learning target.
These small things could spiral. If the student does not participate then they may feel left out from the other students and could begin to act out because they do not have the material. If they Continue to not achieve learning targets then the disruptive behavior will continue and change your classroom dynamic.
