Combining this with praise and incentives for well-behaved and quiet students will help to promote a sense of decorum. Once some of the main culprits are quiet the rest of the class should quickly follow. But by identifying students personally and not as a collective you are much more likely to get results and get them to be quiet as there is more fear that they could get reprimanded. If you speak to a group, they have power in numbers, and often no one takes responsibility and continues to do what they shouldn’t. When trying to quiet down a noisy classroom, don’t address a whole group, instead focus on a few individual students who are being the noisiest. Address students individually and not as a group This can be letting them know that it is a silent activity, that some discussions with one another can take place if done at a low volume level, or that they must raise their hands if they wish to contribute. Likewise, laying out clear instructions at the beginning of a new lesson or an activity will highlight how students need to behave. If they enter a calm and quiet classroom, it will set the tone and encourage them to keep to that noise level throughout the lesson.
Setting the tone for the class will give the students the structure they need to focus and learn, set aside a few minutes to remind the class how they should enter the classroom. Letting them know the lesson plan at the start, and when there will be a time to collaborate and talk with classmates may encourage them to be quiet and focus when needed. Define your expectations and how you want the class to behave throughout the lesson. It should be very clear that the students know that when they enter the classroom it is time to act in a calm and collected manner, which may be difficult especially if the lesson follows a break or lunchtime. So we have looked at some techniques and tips you can implement the next time you feel the noise level of your class is becoming disruptive. No matter the situation it can be disruptive to your lesson plans to have countless voices vying to be heard at the same time.Īs much as you want to try to match your student's volume is not the way to go if you want them to both calm and quiet down.
#I LOVE SILENT START CLASSROOM FULL#
Sometimes students may just be full of energy, other times they are more intent on discussing anything but schoolwork. No matter their age, no matter what subject you may be teaching, there are those days when the decibels in the classroom seem to keep climbing and climbing.
