Study Notes
Strategies for a Calm Classroom
- Keep lessons moving: Plan three different activities for each class period, including at least one that gets students out of their seats. This helps engage students with pent-up energy.
- Minimize lectures: Focus on hands-on activities. Active learning generally results in less disruptive behavior.
- Build relationships: Take the time to interact with students beyond the classroom. This demonstrates genuine care and fosters positive connections.
- Address disruptive behaviour: When students are disruptive, stand by them. This direct approach works particularly well for boys, prompting them to stop their disruptive behavior.
- Handle persistent disruption: If other strategies fail, speak with the student in the hallway. Ask them if they're okay, as they may be facing personal challenges. If they are defiant, send them to the principal.
