It’s difficult when you’re substituting because the kids don’t know you that well and I found it difficult to get the same rapport with them – but I’d try to ask them to separate their work into group chat, pair chat, silent work, pair chat, silent work, etc – ie structured periods without noise in the room.
Or I’d allow quiet chatter with the understanding that if it got too loud it would revert to silent study.
Difficult with substitute classes but it’s all I’ve got I’m afraid! Sorry!
