I taught fourth grade last year and this year I got moved to first grade. I was having a hard time getting my centers up and running. I decided to integrate team leaders and a special slide for our stations. I created a slideshow on pages and input photos for each station instead of saying who was at each center everytime we switched. I also included team leaders which was one person from each group that was in charge of making sure their group was staying on task and staying at the appropriate voice level.
After implementing this, my centers move so much smoother. They are able to switch on their own and the team leaders to a great job answering questions, and making sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to.
