Anyone who’s taught a class knows how quickly it can all devolve. A laugh in one corner of the room, rising suddenly from the midst of 20 minutes of focus, can race down a row of students and catch fire in the other corner. Before you’ve had a chance to react, the whole class is caught up in the fun. Sometimes you should just give in. Providing students with the time and space to be kids—to laugh, chat, and make friends—can be a release valve that prevents disruptive behavior down the line. But bringing the class back to attention when it’s gone off the rails remains a critical classroom management technique, and so we compiled a list of teacher-tested calm-down strategies as the school year gets started.
