Do you ever feel like your students only listen when you raise your voice—and you don't want to be that teacher? In this Teacher Talk episode, Linda and Ashly dive deep into what to do when you're a new, soft-spoken or non-authoritative teacher who still wants a calm, respectful classroom. You CAN gain student respect, keep lessons on track, and manage attention-seeking behaviors—without becoming louder, harsher, or someone you're not!

"I am a first year Spanish teacher. I am not an authoritative personality and I do not have a loud voice. How can I get my class to respect me without raising my voice. They get derailed and like to say things to get attention from their peers while I am teaching. I have a student who is ADD and will not stop taking the bait from students around him so he is constantly turning around and talking to people around him, despite constant redirecting and correction."
