| Dear Educators, I’m reaching out today to gather strategies to quickly quiet a noisy high school class. Beyond the usual countdowns and ringing bells, what’s working for you (or your colleagues)? I’m especially interested in rounding up creative approaches for older kids—the kind that make you say, “I can’t believe that worked!” Share your reply! Thank you in advance for contributing or forwarding this email to a friend. We appreciate all you do! Anne |
