CLASSROOM LISTENING AUDIT Creating a better listening, teaching and learning environment for all

PROBLEM FREE OR WON`T BREAK THE BANK CREATIVE ACCOUNTING FINANCIAL INVESTMENT FOR THE

BENEFIT OF ALL STUDENTS

Background (ambient) noise

Close doors to corridors/hall Get heating systems checked so that they

don`t make unnecessary noise Use soft pads under chair legs or pencil

boxes on desks to reduce scraping noises Encourage your students to value quiet Turn of computers/printers/projectors when

not in use Close windows to outdoor noise Position bookshelves and display boards

against thin partition walls

Fit acoustic panels. Fit acoustic partition walls or add

doors in open plan buildings Replace poorly fitting or light weight

internal doors Line partition curtains with acoustic

fabric Seek a trial of a classroom

soundfield system (but remember, acoustics must be reasonable for optimum benefit)

Replacement windows – double or triple glazed depending on how intrusive outside environmental noise is. Adults are able to filter out background noise and focus on what sounds are important. This is an emerging skill for children and young teens and is much harder for those with APD or hearing loss. Adults often only realise how intrusive noise can be once it stops!

. Reverberation

Use displays or drape fabric on walls Angle display boards downwards by allowing

a gap from the wall at the top of up to 10cm Create a quiet area/study area with bean

bags/soft furnishings

Fit vertical blinds to windows (better than curtains that are rarely drawn)

Carpet the floors! Fit acoustic panels above display

boards in rooms with high ceilings Fit thick acoustic ceiling tiles over

plaster ceilings. Thin ones are almost useless.

Lower the ceilings and fit thick acoustic tiles

Fit soundfield systems in all teaching rooms.

Use amplification in large assembly halls

Fit acoustic battens in noisy dining halls

Distance Make sure students with hearing or listening problems are appropriately seated – near the front to the side of the room so that they can see you and swivel easily to see others during discussions

If an Assistive Listening Device or a Soundfield system has been provided, make sure it is used properly, consistently and is well maintained and monitored.

Make all classrooms 2 metres square. JUST KIDDING!!!
