Classroom Management Strategies That Make Kids Listen

Find out how to quickly get your class focused and paying attention. Behaviour expert and teacher Sue Cowley has some great ideas for stopping children from interrupting you, and how to run your classroom so that learners have a better chance of remembering what you are teaching them.

@ 4:22: The quieter you talk, the more the children have to listen to you” is brilliant and so true! One time I had lost my voice due to laryngitis. I literally had to whisper the whole day. The students (unknowingly at first) began to also whisper! Another time, when I had my regular voice, it was pretty loud in the classroom as the students were in a 2-minute break, allowed to talk. When it was time to move onto the next subject, I began to quietly talk. One student noticed and began to tell the others to quiet down. Worked like a charm!😊

Thank you for this!! This is my 5th year teaching, and I'm somehow struggling again with classroom management again like it's my first year. This helped me so much.

I’ve been teaching for almost 2 years now, and Im still struggling how to manage my students, specially my preschool students . Thank you for the tips I have to apply these tips from next week .

[peternecchi]

These videos are a life saver - essential viewing for me as I a supply teacher and managing behaviour in a “last minute” scenario is absolutely paramount to jumping in at the deep end …. Thank you for these

Looking forward for the new school year to try these with my students.

The tips you gave in the video were very useful, as I have 3-4 messy children in my class who are not ready to listen and are very playful.

Such great and priceless advices! Thank you very much. I'm a preschool teacher, my children are 4 and 5. My problem is not the classroom itself but it's one particular child who does his very best to distract others, interrupt me through bad behaviour, very stubborn...this breaks the learning process, affects my credibility to the rest of the classroom...I'm frustrated, tried EVERYTHING, talking calmly, shouting, praising him when behaving good for 30 seconds, talkedto his mother, divorced, who is more disoriented and unstable than he is which explains a lot! .Now I feel losing control over my whole classroom. Definitely don't want this to happen. What should I do?

Super helpful video! I am a few years into teaching tumbling for kids and I often struggle with listening skills. I will definitely be implementing these guidelines into my teachings.

Thank you for sharing these tips 😍😍 I hope I'll be able to implement these tips in my teaching

[akamiguelsanchez]

This is very helpful, I’ve just started teaching in my first placement and being on top of low level behaviour has been my weakest point. I tried hands up and found they had no idea what I wanted from them.

Would mind making a video of you with a NEW group of kids who don’t know you pls? I’d like to see how this works. I’m more of a visual person. Once I see it in its form, I can do it. Thank you.
