What’s fantastic about this structure?
Sets an expectation of standards. Teacher does not need to raise his/her voice, which often simply leads to learners raising their voices. Students take ownership for the behaviour of the class.
Use this structure:
All the time!!!! In conjunction with other management techniques such as the traffic lights on the tool kit.
THIS IS A SILENT SIGNAL. PLEASE DO NOT COUNT DOWN OR SHOUT ABOVE THE CLASS TO MAKE STUDENTS QUIET.
