18 strategies tagged with Peer friction
Showing 18 strategies
Planned circulation (active supervision path)
Prevent low-level disruption by being present where it starts.
Seat for success (visibility, support, low friction)
Reduce predictable flashpoints by thoughtful seating and room layout.
Pre-correct the ‘risky moment’
Prevent known problems by reminding expectations just before the trigger.
Teach voice levels and talk norms (when to talk, how loud, with whom)
Prevent ‘noise creep’ and low-level disruption by making acceptable talk explicit.
Pre-teach collaboration norms (roles, turn-taking, disagreement rules)
Reduce peer friction and off-task talk by teaching ‘how to work together’.
Turn-taking control for group talk (Talking Chips / equal turns)
Prevents domination, shouting over others, and peer conflict by making turn-taking visible and fair.
Coaching pairs (RallyCoach-style: one solves, one coaches)
Improves on-task behaviour by giving each pupil a clear role; reduces copying and increases productive talk.
Structured round of contributions (RoundRobin / RoundTable with timing)
Prevents calling out and dominance by giving an orderly participation sequence; increases fairness felt.
Procedural seat change (quiet reset)
Break patterns (peer friction, chatting) without confrontation.
Structured talk control (start/stop, roles, time)
Allow talk for learning without it turning into noise.
‘Audience control’ (keep the class learning while you correct one pupil)
Prevent one pupil’s behaviour from becoming a class event.
Planned proximity ‘split’ (separate a pair without confrontation)
Stop peer-driven disruption by breaking proximity subtly.
Turn-taking tokens as a volume reset (Talking Chips as intervention)
Reduces noisy or argumentative group talk by making turns limited and explicit, lowering volume and pace.
Restorative micro-conversation (3 questions)
Repair harm and restore learning relationships quickly.
Rebuild after peer conflict (separate, repair, plan)
Restore safety and learning after low-level peer friction.
Restitution menu (practical repair options)
Make repair concrete so restoration isn’t just ‘say sorry’.
Restorative conference (teacher + pupil + affected peer)
Repair harm, reduce retaliation, and prevent recurring peer conflict from spilling back into lessons.
Apology + restitution choices (repair without humiliation)
Teach accountability with a dignified route back that doesn’t become a public ‘grovel’.
