Mona Lisa. On the first day the teacher shows a picture of the Mona Lisa, explaining that she's exhibiting good behavior: her mouth is closed, her eyes are focused on the teacher, and her hands are empty and in her lap. The teacher calls Mona, and the students call Lisa, and they stop talking. It works most every time! You may need to add a little extra commentary to get students to lay down whatever is in their hands and pay attention, but it's pretty effective. Thank you, Mrs. Gray!

I've been teaching teenagers for about 15 years. I use a stopwatch, and every time I have to wait for them to be quiet, I put the stopwatch on. However many minutes it amounts to, that's how long they have to stay behind for. If there are no minutes, they get about 5-10 minutes at the end of class to chat and relax as a reward. Works every time, no matter how rowdy the class is. The best part is, it's the students telling each other to be quiet because they hate staying behind. For teenagers, hearing it from your peers is more effective than hearing it from an authority figure.

I’m teaching in Vietnam. Most respectful students I’ve ever had.

These tips will work great in most normal classes, but sometimes you just get a bad mix of kids who refuse to show respect or put forward a basic amount of effort. In those situations you really need the support of the parents at home and the school to follow through with discipline because there is only so much you can do as an individual teacher.

[OPTIONALWATCH]

The funny thing I keep noticing is that during staff meetings or district trainings, teachers act and do the same things as students and need to be quieted down.

[markelmore]

I find it helpful to praise the behavior I want. “Thank you, Emily! I see you seated and waiting”. “Thank you Jayden! I see you have your notebook and pencil out and are ready to write”. “Now I see Hector is waiting quietly… now all of row 3…” and the others will fall into line.

Going in front of the class and standing with big smile when the class is noisy is what my teacher does. He's a great teacher. He knows exactly how to deal with all kinds of students.

For me silent treatment of staring each one works and loudly appreciating n rewarding a particular student for being quiet

[expatstef]

I heard of a teacher who used the call and response: Teacher: Stop! Class: Collaborate and listen! … 😆 I love it!

[alanwhiplington]

If your class are well-behaved enough to respond to these techniques then you didn't have a problem in the first place.

I have found that if you directly tell a student to quiet down or sit down, it is far less likely that they will do it than if you simply say, "Johnny is going to sit down now, Sally is getting out a piece of paper, " etc., pausing and waiting until they make ANY move to do what you ask, then quickly moving on to the next student. I also love countdowns in various ways. If there is too much chaos at the end of class, I say, "Seven people need to sit down before we go, " and then count down as they sit, such as "Six people need to sit down, " "Five people, " "Four people, " etc. Depending on the mood of the class, you might even have a couple of kids stand up or something, and the "countdown" turns into "counting up", the sitting students notice immediately and start telling fellow students by name to sit down, and generally the standing students sit down even more quickly than they would otherwise.

One more trick that works wonders: when you catch someone working hard or being kind or deserving a complement, say as you do it: two claps, two snaps, and two thumbs up for Suzie for They LOVE that! You can just do two claps, or just two snaps, or whatever works for you. You can do the claps by yourself or have the entire class join you. I’ve seen it done both ways. It’s quick and they respond well to it!

The best lesson I had in getting students' rapt attention happened during my first year of teaching. I had laryngitis. I could not raise my voice. Never did I have such quiet attention. Thereafter, whenever a class began to get too chatty, I simply gradually lowered my voice.

[Carolmaizy]

We often counted down from 10, varying the counting pace unexpectedly. Clapping sequences worked well. Our school's universal signal for quiet was a peace sign and an index finger over the lips. It was magical. These are all good ideas. I did love using whiteboard messages, myself. Very useful ideas here.

[terrybohl]

Use index cards. Scramble the spelling on the vocabulary needed for that class on each card I.e. categorize becomes zicagoerite…make it simple or as difficult as your kids can decode. Flash them on the overhead (or use whatever technology you have) as the kids are arriving. The guessing gets their attention right away and you’re reinforcing vocabulary. Two birds with one stone!

[treeriver]

It's wonderful to have such a great teacher's atmosphere. It's a good learning experience.

[sharonrinkiewicz]

I am a sub. When I cover elementary school, I write the word Recess on the board. I explain that if they are quiet and do their work, I will add exclamation marks to the end of the word. That means they've earned extra recess time. On the other hand, if they are noisy, interrupt me, distract from learning, ect, I erase letters. Each letter I erase corresponds to 5 minutes lost.

[abulahab]

Never imply to the students that THEY are establishing the tone.
I’ve heard teachers say, “I’m waiting.”
The kids at least subconsciously think “Fine. Keep waiting.”

[AnaMariaaa]

Ah no I'm afraid to use the animal sounds one, they'd all start meowing and barking and it'd all become an animal farm hahaha

[Freight_Train]

I use the "island method." I made this title up but it works if you think of it this way. Isolate the loudest kids either verbally ("John, I need to be silent for the next 2 minutes because I can hear every word you are saying to your neighbor and you are sitting across the room") or physically (seat them somewhere else for a short time--not time out though). The trouble maker is on their own island and they don't like that, so they talk more quietly over time.
It also usually quiets the entire room.
