study hall monitor

Quiet room overseer

A study hall monitor is a school staff member who supervises students during study hall—a designated period for independent work rather than instruction.

The role involves maintaining order and ensuring students stay on task rather than teaching: The study hall monitor told us to keep our voices down.

Often a teacher, aide, or volunteer filling gaps between classes.
