Students won’t stop talking in your classroom? If you feel like you spend your entire day saying “stop talking” and “shhh,” to talkative students, this episode is for you! Molly shares 6 simple strategies to help get your chatty class and student talking under control without expecting your classroom to be silent all day.

Learn how to give students appropriate times to talk, explicitly teach and model your expectations, use picture books and voice levels, introduce silent hand signals, and support individual students who just can’t seem to stop talking.
