37. Students Keep Saying "6 7?" How to Deal with Disruptive and Repetitive Noises in the Classroom
from Next Chapter for Teachers Podcast · host Erin Sponaugle
Are you tired of hearing your students say "6 7," "sigma," or any other random phrases or noises that disrupt your classroom? This year, it seems the repetitive, disruptive noises from students are at an all-time high. Spurred by what's trending on social media, these seemingly harmless fads tend to distract our students from learning - and wear on our teacher patience. In this episode, we'll discuss why students keep saying and doing these trends (trust me - it's not the first or the last) and how we can combat their impact on student learning. Are the demands of the classroom causing you to think about quitting teaching?
