Successful Silence 5 minute Quiet Time Lesson Strategy Positive Behaviour Idea Lesson Study

Simple idea....Make sure the student have everything they need to do the work. Make sure you have prepped them and given them opportunities to discuss it and ask questions. Check everyone understands what to do and how to do it. Then give them the task and insist on five minutes of "Successful silence". During this time they are absolutely not allowed to talk - even the students with TA's. That way they are given the chance to work quietly. This is something the students have said they want - quiet time to work in.

This was done as a "Action Research Lesson Study" with the North East Teacher Development Trust Network. See attached
