In the past, I\u2019ve dedicated an entire episode to each question I answer so I can give a really thorough response. But that limits the number of questions I can respond to. Plus, if someone asked a question I didn\u2019t feel I could spend 10-15 minutes talking about, or if I wasn\u2019t sure I could make the topic feel relevant to the very diverse audience of teachers who listen to the show, then I just didn\u2019t answer it.<\/p>\n<p>So this season, I thought it might be fun to answer a couple questions briefly in one episode. In fact, I\u2019m challenging myself to answer 5 questions in 15 minutes\u2013quick and to the point, which is not necessarily my style (you guys know I like to be detailed and thorough) but I\u2019m going outside the box here and doing something different.

A podcast is like a free talk radio show you can listen to online, or download and take with you wherever you go. I release a new short\u00a0episode each Sunday and feature it here on the blog to help you get energized and motivated for the week ahead.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>When I teach 8-11 year olds they tend to get very noisy, especially when doing something exciting. I think, this is quite natural and shows that they\u2019re enjoying themselves but at the same time, it is too hard to get them back. How can I cope with that?<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>\u2013Natasha<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hi, Natasha! A noisy class doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you are doing anything \u201cwrong\u201d\u2014when kids get really involved in an activity, they tend to forget to monitor their volume. As you mentioned, that\u2019s actually kind of a good thing\u2014it means they\u2019re really engaged in the task!<\/p>\n<p>So first and foremost, you may need to adjust your own expectations for what a classroom is \u201csupposed\u201d to sound like. Many of us have a vision of a traditional classroom in which students are seated quietly in rows with their hands folded, and we have to actively create a new vision for what we want our classrooms to look (and sound like) today.<\/p>\n<p>Then talk to your class about the situation. Tell them about the problem you notice and ask kids what their solution would be. You could say, \u201cI love to see that you all are enjoying the activities we do and I\u2019m happy you are excited about learning. Sometimes it gets loud in our room when you\u2019re working. This hurts my ears and makes it hard for me to talk with you and answer your questions. Have you noticed this? What do you think we could do about it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just sharing with the kids how you feel about the noise level makes them more sensitive to the issue and shows them that you\u2019re not a cranky teacher trying to take away all their fun; you are on their side working for the same goal, which is a positive, fun learning environment. Invite them to take ownership over the issue and address it in ways that make sense for them.<\/p>\n<p>Getting students \u201cback\u201d when they\u2019re involved in an activity is best done with non-verbal signals so that you don\u2019t have to shout over the kids or nag them. Teach your students clearly defined signals for which they know to \u201cfreeze\u201d: it could be a bell, a clicker, chimes, etc. Some teachers like to also dim the lights to get students\u2019 attention. Model and practice this signal with them as many times as needed. Try to use the technique sparingly so that students take it seriously: you don\u2019t want to interrupt their work and thought processes unnecessarily.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>How do you manage transition times? My class takes any opportunity to mess around so moving tables or tidying up is the perfect opportunity to play fight with each other, call names etc.<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>\u2013Amy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have two good blog posts that might help with this, and I\u2019m going to put them in the transcript for the show. One is called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/truthforteachers.com\/2013\/10\/15-creative-respectful-ways-to-quiet-a-class.html\">15 creative and respectful ways to quiet a class<\/a>, which I think will be helpful in getting your students\u2019 attention when they\u2019re noisy and not paying attention during transitions. The other post is called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/truthforteachers.com\/2013\/05\/how-to-get-students-to-follow-directions.html\">How to get students to follow directions the first time<\/a>, which will help you make sure they get on task right away when the transition time is over and you\u2019re ready to begin, but they\u2019re not.<\/p>\n<p>So I think these two blog posts will be helpful for you, but I do want to speak specifically to what I think is part of the root problem here, which is that students don\u2019t know how to behave appropriately during unstructured time and assume it\u2019s a free-for-all. You\u2019ll want to model and practice that, and then even after the kids understand the expectations, you\u2019ll want to be proactive in preventing the problem. Some groups of kids just really don\u2019t do well with unstructured time and so you\u2019ll want to minimize that as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>You can create urgency with a timer. I like using a variety of timers so kids don\u2019t get bored:\u00a0kitchen timers, an online stopwatch shown via the LCD projector, an old fashioned\u00a0alarm clock, and so on. When kids know they only have 30 seconds to put away one set of materials and get out another, it feels less like a break to them where they can kind of kick back, take their time, start a conversation with a friend across the room, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Pick up the pace during your transitions, don\u2019t let them drag on too long, and keep the momentum of your lessons going. Don\u2019t walk around to the back of the room and have individual conversations with students during transitions\u2013that signals to kids that you\u2019re not teaching and you won\u2019t be needing their attention again for at least another minute or two. Stay right in the center of the action and narrate what you see to the whole class: \u201cGreat, Team 2 has their notebooks and pencils out. Fantastic. We have 30 seconds left\u2026 I\u2019m watching to see which team is going to be next\u201d and so on.<\/p>\n<p>When time is up, dive directly into the lesson, and give kids a task to do immediately, like finding an important vocabulary word on the page, or turning and telling a neighbor a summary of what they wrote the day before. Get them immediately engaged in an activity and THEN you can walk around and follow up with the kids who aren\u2019t ready or are off-task.<\/p>\n<p>One final thing that I\u2019d say about this\u2026if students are playing around during transitions, that\u2019s pretty normal. I would expect that to some degree in any classroom. We\u2019re talking about children and teenagers here, not robots.<\/p>\n<p>But if anytime the class has a few moments of unstructured time, they\u2019re fighting and name calling as you indicated, I\u2019d also encourage you to do more community building activities. You want to create a class culture of supportiveness and kindness and collaboration. If a lot of students haven\u2019t internalized that yet, go back to some of those activities you probably did in the first week of school and keep building your sense of community and establishing those class norms. If just a few kids are creating the problem and the rest are sort of reacting to them, then look into ways to provide more structure and support for the students who need it, both during transitions and in terms of appropriate social interaction with their peers in general.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>How can you automate a classroom when you must put all materials away for others to use your space? I teach on a stage, and I have a different class setup every day and sometimes every class period. It\u2019s very challenging to refocus classes of 26\u00a0kindergartners, 1st, and 2nd graders. \u00a0They receive Music and\u00a0Physical Education from me, leave their classroom building 2 blocks away to attend my class at the end of the day. Transitions eat up all the class time.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>\u2013Chris<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hi, Chris! It\u2019s always tough when you don\u2019t have your own permanent classroom space. I\u2019d advise you to set up a rolling cart with your materials (a locking one, if possible) and teach your students how to quickly get the right materials, use them appropriately, and then put them back the right way. Spend as much time as you need to one practicing these routines: use the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/truthforteachers.com\/free-resources\/routines-and-procedures\/how-to-teach-any-procedure\">7 steps for teaching any procedure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Be patient with the kids, as they\u2019re quite young and not in their familiar learning environment. Keep your lessons very structured and don\u2019t try to cram too much into a short time. You\u2019ll need to be very firm about your expectations and present the hands-on activities you do as privileges that must be earned.<\/p>\n<p>Start small, maybe by giving them just crayons and paper for art or one simple instrument for music, and tell the kids they have to show you that they can handle these things responsibly. Guide and encourage them during the activity, giving lots of feedback, and then debrief afterward. Slowly work up to activities that are harder to manage, like painting.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to have some basic routines for starting and ending the class. For example, you may want to always play the same song as students come in: it should be something fairly calming and have some hand motions they have to concentrate on remembering and executing so that they\u2019re not playing around and talking. Teach them to fall silent after the song ends and listen for you to explain the day\u2019s activity. You could have a clean up and closure song to end the lesson, so that you can review the directions for cleaning up, play the song, and then have all students sitting in their chairs when the song ends, waiting to be dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>Think carefully about these beginning and ending procedures and plan them out well, as they\u2019ll set the tone for your instruction and provide a predictable framework for all the lessons you do in between.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What are your thoughts on whole class reward systems, like when the class earns a reward when they fill a jar with marbles?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>-Reuben<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What are your thoughts on \u201cHow is my day\u201d behavior charts that kids are moved up or down on? I see these throughout the classrooms I visit in my district. What about ClassDojo?<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>-Kathleen<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I like reward systems that focus on the positive. There\u2019s a number of pedagogical reasons to use reward systems that I think are solid, and I did an in-depth two-part podcast post about this last season. If you want to delve into that, check out the episode or blog post called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/truthforteachers.com\/2016\/02\/reward.html\">Should teachers reward students for doing what they\u2019re \u201csupposed\u201d to do?<\/a>\u00a0and the second part called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/truthforteachers.com\/2016\/02\/responsible-rewards.html\">Responsible rewards: using the \u201cnow-that\u201d principle with students<\/a>\u00a0which gives specific ideas of reward systems that are effective not only in the short-term, but in achieving our goal of teaching students to self-regulate their own behavior.<\/p>\n<p>But to answer Reuben\u2019s question specifically about a whole class reward system where every time the class gets a compliment from another teacher or works together to accomplish a goal or accept responsibility when they make a mistake, they get a marble in the jar, and the full jar can be traded in for a reward that the class votes on, like extra recess or ordering pizza during lunch or something, I\u2019d say, sure. There\u2019s not a whole lot of fun things happening in many classrooms today with all the emphasis on testing, so why not? I like ClassDojo, too, when it\u2019s used ONLY for recognizing the positive and kids don\u2019t have points taken away.<\/p>\n<p>I think sometimes we forget that teaching is supposed to be enjoyable and so is learning. Let\u2019s not make it into this thing where we\u2019re spending the whole day on watching for and reacting to behavior problems. A reward system like the marble jar or ClassDojo forces you to look for, acknowledge, and reinforce the good choices that students make and the great work they\u2019re doing, and that\u2019s only going to improve your attitude and motivation, which helps improve the students\u2019 attitude and motivation. It is de-motivating to have behavior systems in which you are penalizing students and looking for infractions and issuing punishments all day.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m not going to tell you that some sort of consequence system is wrong to have, because every classroom is a different. You may want to use the whole class reward system in addition to a punitive system. That\u2019s what I did at first, I had both, and I realized that the reward system solved 90% of behavior issues and I didn\u2019t need the punitive system anymore. The reward system was not only more effective but a lot more fun. It put me in a good mood to be constantly reinforcing the great things kids were doing.<\/p>\n<p>So doing both can be a way to phase out the punitive system slowly as you get comfortable with it. I know there are a lot of teachers using those old clip charts and they want to get rid of them but don\u2019t know how. So add a reward system on top of what you currently do, something that\u2019s focused on the positive, and slowly phrase out the punitive system. This is what I did for a year and then my last 6-7 years in the classroom I only had a reward system\u2013nothing punitive and it worked extremely well. Most kids do NOT need a punitive system\u2014they just need reminders, and practice, and encouragement, and redirection, and for the ones who do need extra support, you can set up individual behavior contracts with pre-defined goals and accountability and consequences.<\/p>\n<span class='bctt-click-to-tweet'><span class='bctt-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftruthforteachers.com%2Ftruth-for-teachers-podcast%2Fask-angela-anything-classroom-management-questions-answered%2F&#038;text=Students%20should%20not%20only%20know%20what%20they%E2%80%99re%20doing%2C%20but%20why%20and%20how.--Harry%20Wong&#038;related' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Students should not only know what they\u2019re doing, but why and how.--Harry Wong <\/a><\/span><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftruthforteachers.com%2Ftruth-for-teachers-podcast%2Fask-angela-anything-classroom-management-questions-answered%2F&#038;text=Students%20should%20not%20only%20know%20what%20they%E2%80%99re%20doing%2C%20but%20why%20and%20how.--Harry%20Wong&#038;related' target='_blank' class='bctt-ctt-btn'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n<p><strong>You can solve just about any classroom management problem by teaching students the what, the why, and the how of meeting expectations and being successful.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This episode is sponsored by Kiddom, a standards-based platform helping teachers personalize learning.
