Maiui and I have a box on the whiteboard where kids write their name when they leave. If there is already a name, no need to ask permission. Don't leave while teacher is giving directions, only during work time.

# data[].attributes.body
this has a 50/50 success rate for me, but its what we have tried to implement. We also use timers.

# data[].attributes.body
When teacher is talking, laptops are closed, voices off. When we are having discussion, we used raised hands.

1. project the image of the space, so kids see which part they need to be staying inside of during break that day. If kids are mixing, I bring them inside early.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to implement norm that kids are seated with laptops closed when a new teacher arrives, so they are ready faster for new teacher directions. No policy for me yet as they are walking in the hallway.

I started this but lost the flow in the last week. Having a "tape-desinged" space for that like what I saw in Maiuí's classroom is a brilliant idea. I can definitely revive this with 7.5 and 7.6

Policy needed desperately for 7.5 and 7.6

I am thinking that maybe having a poster reminding them; What I started doing (yesterday) is have a "shouting board" where I write the name of the student and add how many times they shout in the class (to get my attention or at others). One shout is an accident, the second one will be registered on veracross. I hope not all sections need such a way of dealing with this and appreciate other ideas. I also call on students who raise their hand to share, interrupting those that start out of the blue.

# data[].attributes.body
I do tell them "computers closed" when the activity is off-screen and have confiscated Ipads in the past. When I want silence, I use the "hand up strategy" but I admit it's taking a while for them so setlle down

# data[].attributes.body
Maiuí you are a rock star! That spreadsheet is brilliant!

# data[].attributes.body
we had them use right to go, and left to return... but I am afraid that if we set anything regarding this it will be just another teacher-stressor, since I honestly can't picture them respecting thing.

# data[].attributes.body
I use the three fingers, but totally agree

# data[].attributes.body
I would appreciate if we are all on the same page for breaks. It has been one of the worst moments of my day since there is so much energy put in separating the kids.

# data[].attributes.body
In 7.5 and 7.6 Ale, Ingrid, Mari, and I have been coming up with bi-weekly seating charts. However, depending on the activity it changes, so we have the weekly seating arrengent in clusters and the lesson-specific ones.

When students speak over me or someone else, they are instructed to look at the person they interrupted and say "I'm sorry, you may continue"
I immediately stop speaking if someone is speaking over me.

I stand at the door and look bored while looking at my watch. The students more eager to leave the classroom start calling others to move.

I am in front of the pack of students as we move through the hallways

As students come back from break, I have them make a new line in front of the class before coming in. I have a small talk to each as they come back to re-set

I tell them at the beginning of class that they will only use their laptops when I tell them to

I'm having kids repeat these 3 rues before going to break. If they break a rule we come back. Results have been really good.

The rules:

It is difficult for us in projects because classes always start after a break or lunch. I am counting down form 10 to 0 before attendance, and they need to be at  their assigned seats and ready by then.

I ask them to always fully close during instructions, and use a hand gesture (italian family, you know). Mixed results, but I wait until the last one closes it.

We should maybe decide what to do about tardys. I think if we don't come up with some kind of consequence, it will soon not be useful anymore.

What has been working with me is this attention grabber:

T: Do I have your attention?
Ss: Clap.

Ss: Clap twice

At the start of a cycle, I usually say that they can stand up and go to the bathroom/drink water without asking for permission if they are working independently. They only need to make sure that I see them leaving the room so that not more than one goes out at a time.

# data[].attributes.body
I usually get in class and kids are all over the place! It takes me 5-7 minutes to get them ready. I usually shout: "Are you ready?" a couple of times so that they can start getting ready.

When doing blocks (10m+) of work, I tell students that to come to me and disrupt my schedule of 1-on-1 conversations with others, they need to prove that:
1) they have read the instructions and the supporting material
2) that they have talked with three peers about their question

# data[].attributes.body
And no leaving during instructions.

When I want individual students to speak, I give them my plush cat called "Pizza". They also have fun throwing Pizza around. Everyone should listen when someone is holding pizza. Does it work? I need to redirect them a lot, but I've got the tricky groups.
