How to Build a Quiet Classroom Routine

Want a calm classroom? Build the habits that support it.

Here’s a quick daily routine that promotes quiet behavior:

1. Start with Silence

Begin the day with a moment of silence or soft music. It sets the tone.

2. Practice Your Quiet Signal

Reinforce the silent signal you use (like a hand raise) so students know what to do.

3. Give Feedback on Volume

Use tools like Classvol to show when things get too loud. Visual feedback helps students adjust in real time.

4. End with Reflection

Ask: “How was our volume today?” It builds awareness and responsibility.

Small changes, practiced daily, create long-term calm.
