Control

This is more pertinent within a high school workshop context.

Certain high schools may have problematic students in the classroom or may be rowdy due to other variables (last period on a friday, right before lunch etc)

Students are unlikely to listen to instructors that don’t keep consistent standards.

At the beginning of lessons, it helps to clearly communicate simple expectations throughout the workshop (eg: hands up to ask questions).

As a presenter, you must set the standards and ensure that those standards are met.
