Student teacher discovers the obvious
I learned an important lesson today about NOT CONTINUING CLASS UNTIL ALL STUDENTS HAVE STOPPED TALKING. The lesson was that if I stop talking, the students will stop talking.
For me, at least, this technique was the basis of all classroom management.
One follow on strategy that worked for me was using a quiet voice to focus attention on yourself when speaking. When I brought it down a nothc, my kids usually did too.
