Video from Teachers TV: "Behaviour guru Sue Cowley coaches a Year 4 teacher how to manage class noise levels by using clear instructions, time targets, and varying the teacher's voice level. Sue Cowley observes a 3D shapes lesson via hidden cameras taught by E'Van Tsang at Greenholm Primary in More…Birmingham. She is able to coach her about keeping noise levels down throughout the Year 4 lesson via a concealed earpiece. It is when E'Van is unclear or hesitant about what she asks them to do that the children become noisy.

Really useful practical advice from Sue to the Year 4 classteacher - I liked the immediacy of using an earpiece to provide instant feedback and offer suggestions for direct intervention. Sue provided a half-day's INSET at my school on 'Managing Pupil Behaviour' a few years ago and it was excellent. I've been teaching for 16yrs but still at times need positive suggestions to keep my pupils on track & monitor noise levels in the classroom. Peter
