Noise

In a learner-centred classroom noise is inevitable and should be seen as a good thing provided it is controlled and constructive. Train your pupils to speak quietly and politely during pair and group work and be ready with additional tasks for those who finish their work early. If you give clear instructions before an activity you will find that pupils will be able to do the tasks without confusion and unnecessary noise. Set clear rules on how you expect pupils to talk to you and to one another.
