30 Techniques to Quiet a Noisy Class

30 Techniques to Quiet a Noisy Class
One day, in front 36 riotous sophomores, I clutched my chest and dropped to my knees like Sergeant Elias at the end of Platoon. Instantly, dead silence and open mouths replaced classroom Armageddon. Standing up like nothing had happened, I said, "Thanks for your attention -- let's talk about love poems." I never used that stunt again. After all, should a real emergency occur, it would be better if students call 911 rather than post my motionless body on YouTube. Most teachers use silencing methods, such as flicking the lights, ringing a call bell (see Teacher Tipster's charming video on the subject), raising two fingers, saying "Attention, class," or using Harry Wong's Give Me 5 -- a command for students to: Focus their eyes on the speaker Be quiet Be still Empty their hands Listen. There is also the "three fingers" version, which stands for stop, look, and listen. Lesser known techniques are described below and categorized by grade bands: Late Elementary and Middle Grade Attention Getters Related:  comportement

La gestion de classe-Les privilèges Edit du 20/08/2016 : lifting du fichier + ajout de nouveaux privilèges ! Comme beaucoup d’entre vous aujourd’hui, j’utilise en classe des privilèges, que j’associe aux tampons Champion de copie que je mets dans le cahier du jour de mes élèves. Jusqu’à l’année dernière, j’utilisais tels quels les privilèges mis en ligne sur son blog par Charivari, mais mes élèves avaient proposé l’ajout de nouveaux privilèges. Je leur avais promis que je procéderai à ses ajouts pendant les vacances. J’ai profité de cette occasion pour donner à ces privilèges une mise en page plus personnelle, tout en ajoutant, en plus de ceux que mes élèves avaient suggéré, de petits nouveaux venant soit de moi, soit d’autres bloggeurs (Romy, Bruce Demaugé-Bost). Je vous les propose aujourd’hui ! Bien sûr, si vous avez d’autres idées de privilèges que vous penseriez amusants ou intéressants d’ajouter, n’hésitez pas à m’en faire part !

5 Common Mistakes that Will Lead to an Out-of-Control Classroom Guest post by Linda Kardamis at Teach 4 the Heart My first year teaching was not very pretty. I thought I knew how to manage a class, but I made some critical errors that left me in the situation every teacher dreads – standing in front of an out-of-control classroom.

How Teachers Can Motivate Students of Any Age iStock By Linda Flanagan Barry Schwartz laughs as he describes the little girl next door who suddenly dove into reading after a substitute teacher took over her elementary school classroom. For every book they read, recalls the Swarthmore College psychology professor, students received a point, which they later cashed in for prizes. The girl then started to read a book an hour. The only catch was that she picked her books based on the number of pages and type size, and “she couldn’t tell you anything about any of them,” he says. Schwartz shared this story about the binge-reading neighbor during a conference call with Yale University associate professor Amy Wrzesniewski explaining their research on motivation. They assumed that some combination of internal and external motives would lead to the most success, as measured by the officers’ willingness to stay beyond the five-year commitment to the Army and to graduate and become commissioned officers.

EBEP - Les comportements oppositionnels et provocateurs Cet article est un complément traitant d’une difficulté particulière parmi toutes celles potentiellement rencontrées et listées dans mon article Elèves à besoins éducatifs particuliers. Ça a été ma première véritable et grande claque à mon entrée dans le métier : mais où est passé le respect ? C’est la question que je me suis vite posée. Il ne suffit pas de demander (ou d’ordonner) pour qu’un élève fasse. Alors, bien encadrée que j’étais en tant que PES, on m’a dit « Mais non… ce n’est pas ça ! C’est peut-être le premier conseil que je pourrais donner : quand on sait qu’on va être confronté à cette situation, ou quand on sent que c’est déjà le cas, il est bon de prendre de la distance et d’analyser la situation. En éducation, on a tendance à enfermer les enfants dans des cases, notamment dans celles du genre, du milieu social ou encore du trouble.

Privacy Concerns for ClassDojo and Other Tracking Apps for Schoolchildren Photo HUNTER, N.Y. — For better or for worse, the third graders in Greg Fletcher’s class at Hunter Elementary School always know where they stand. One morning in mid-October, Mr. Fletcher walked to the front of the classroom where an interactive white board displayed ClassDojo, a behavior-tracking app that lets teachers award points or subtract them based on a student’s conduct. On the board was a virtual classroom showing each student’s name, a cartoon avatar and the student’s scores so far that week. “I’m going to have to take a point for no math homework,” Mr. The program emitted a disappointed pong sound, audible to the whole class — and sent a notice to the child’s parents if they had signed up for an account on the service. ClassDojo is used by at least one teacher in roughly one out of three schools in the United States, according to its developer. ClassDojo does not seek explicit parental consent for teachers to log detailed information about a child’s conduct. Mr.

Classroom Management: The Intervention Two-Step All of us have had major classroom disruptions that try our patience and push our limits. These incidents can threaten our sense of control and generate fear of looking weak to other students. We fear that other students might do the same thing if we don't take a strong stance. Couple these feelings with the possibility of taking the disruption personally, and we have a recipe for disaster. It's important that we divide our response into two parts: Immediate stabilization Intervention to resolve these issues Crisis Management If you go to the emergency room, the goal is not to make you better (unless the required treatment is minor). The same is true in the classroom. Calming down requires time for both the student and teacher to depersonalize the incident. Common wisdom tells us to intervene as fast as possible, that waiting is a bad thing. Do's, Don'ts and 5 Examples Understand that stabilizing is not excusing, letting the student get away with anything or ignoring. Things to avoid:
