You are a teacher who is in the middle of a short lecture when you notice two students whispering at the back of the room. Using the principle of least intervention, what would you do?

The principle of least intervention has been described as the Ladder of Discipline. Teachers start at the lowest rung, and reserve the highest rungs for the most extreme behaviors. Describe a ladder of discipline with at least six rungs. Make each rung one very concrete, specific action. Explain how each rung works. Briefly compare the implementation of your ladder by an experienced teacher, to how it might go for a new, unpracticed teacher. What will be an ideal response?
