Very loud student
Mrs. Smith is a very calm and loving teacher. She has just received a new student to her classroom. This student was obviously allowed to yell out and blurt out at will at her old school. Mrs. Smith and her class, being a very quiet group is concerned that this young lady is not going to acclimate to the new environment without some sort of negative feelings from the student. What is the best way to handle this young lady?

The best way to handle this student is too have a one on one conversation about her actions. Tell her you are going to be watching her for when she makes good choice and doesn't blurt out. Make sure to keep reminding her about the unwanted behavior and reward the positive behavior. Also, remember if you give a treat for not blurting and then a few minutes later she blurts out you can't take back the original treat.

This is a good suggestion, reward the good behavior and talk to the student one on one.

Getting on their level is a good decision.

I would implement a rewards system with the student. Tell the student that she may not blurt out in class, and she needs to keep her voice to an "inside voice" or a "level 1". Have her keep a sticky note on her desk. If she goes through a whole lesson or activity without blurting out or being loud, tell her to put a tally on her sticky note. When she gets to a certain number of tallies (say, 10), she is then responsible to tell you that she has reached that number of tallies. Then, you will give her a reward of her choice, like a healthy snack or a homework pass.

It sounds like this student needs a healthy role model. Hopefully the teacher can talk to the student in a calm and caring voice to demonstrate the way she likes for people in her classroom to talk. She should acknowledge every time the student speaks in the proper way so the student gets used to positive feedback and the teacher can set up a good relationship with her.

The best way to handle this situation is to have a conference with the student and to remind them of the classroom rules and consequences.

It is important to talk to the new student and discuss the classroom policy on inside voices. However, sometimes children are loud. Maybe the teacher can come out of the comfort zone a bit and have some activities in the room that allow for it to be a little noisy. This way the child can see the importance of quiet work but still be allowed to be herself at the appropriate times. Music would be an excellent way to do this. Play a song about the lesson and let students sing and dance to it.

Make sure the student knows your expectations, and seat the student next to a positive role model. Also it is important to reward positive behavior, not focus on the negative.
