I shared the link with one of my behavior classes and mentioned the article to the other class; they want the link now too! We had a great conversation about it in the first class this morning.
With students in classes (long ago), I found this concept to be particularly compelling. They said (I exagerate), "Oh, poop, I can do that and it's so easy!"
Of course, then they had to do something more after getting kids started....
Clay (no relation) Cook from the U. of Minnesota and his colleagues conducted a study showing the effectiveness of teacher greetings at the door within a tiered system to support students' positive behavior: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1098300717753831
I wonder if there's a relationship beyond just the surface similarities between this instructional technique and the practice within some cultures, like that for more traditional Arabs, of going around and greeting everyone when entering a room or meeting.
For those teaching about classroom and behavior management, this video might provide an opportunity to give your students a break from having to listen and watch you!

Thanks, my man, for this reference. Very helpful to me and, I hope, to readers!

I'm still hoping to link to videos from Randy Sprick's CHAMPS (https://www.safeandcivilschools.com/products/scs_overview.php). Stay tuned.
In the meantime, take look at this explanation of the practice by Laura Mooiman
