Top TEN Classroom Frameworks™
Students Won't Stop Talking?
Stop managing the noise all day.
Teach students when to talk, how to participate, and what productive classroom conversation actually sounds like.
If you're saying these things all day...
“Guys, stop talking.”
“It's too loud.”
“You should know what voice level to use.”
“How many times do I have to remind you?”
The problem isn't that students talk.
Students should talk. They should explain, collaborate, question, disagree, laugh, think out loud, and learn with other people.
But productive classroom talk doesn't happen because we tell students to “be quieter.” It happens when we explicitly teach what talking, listening, partnering, transitioning, and participating should look and sound like.
The Classroom Noise Framework™
A simple plan for turning constant talking into purposeful participation.
Instead of spending your day correcting noise after it happens, you'll learn what to teach, what to say, and what students can begin taking responsibility for themselves.
Inside, you'll get:
- Purposeful voice levels connected to what students are actually doing
- Exact teacher language for reinforcing expectations without endless reminders
- Partner and group structures that make productive talk easier
- Transition and materials routines that reduce unnecessary talking
- Student ownership strategies so you aren't policing every conversation
- A simple implementation process for teaching, practicing, noticing, reflecting, and growing
