I struggle with classroom management specifically noise management.

I am trying to improve by:

1. Setting clear noise level expectations

2. Using non-verbal cues like hand gestures or facial expressions

3. Creating a quiet signal, like flicking the lights

4. Encouraging active listening

5. Using noise-reducing strategies like “turn-and-talk”

6. Providing regular breaks
