Withitness

Explanation:

Jacob Kounin postulated 5 classroom management skills which are; withitness, overlapping, momentum, smoothness, and group focus.

Withitness has to do with a classroom teacher's ability to know what is going on the class. This is achieved by the teacher constantly scanning the class to create an impression that he or she is fully aware of what is going on the class.

The look from the teacher notifies Desiree that he or she is aware of what Desiree is about to do and to stop it.
