The Concept: Most teachers enter a room and perform "micro-gestures" (adjusting glasses, shuffling papers, shifting weight). In Chase Hughes’ hierarchy of behavior, constant movement signals a lack of dominance. Today, we implement "The Anchor" – a technique of static presence designed to reset the room’s hierarchy instantly. Execution Instructions: 1. Select Your Grid: When the bell rings, move to a specific spot (ideally the center-front). This is your "Anchor Point." Once your feet are set, they do not move. 2. The Zero-Movement Protocol (0-5-0): 3. Vocal Compression: When you finally speak, lower your pitch by 20%. Your first sentence must be a directive (e.g., "Open your books to page 42."), not a question or a plea for attention. 🎯 Why This Works (TCA Insight) In the world of behavioral engineering, movement equals need. High-status individuals move less and more deliberately. When you "freeze" at your Anchor Point, the students' amygdalas subconsciously register: "This person is not threatened, does not need my approval, and completely commands this space." Silence becomes their responsibility to fill, not yours to demand.
