  Case: Speaking Volume
My school has lots of students that do not understand inside voices. They yell in the hallways. They speak loudly in many classrooms. I, on the other hand, do not think it is acceptable to speak so loudly. How do I teach students to use their inside voices in a school that does not?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Students have to be shown how to act in the hallways and in the classroom. Model the behavior for the students. Show the students bad behavior, not good behavior, and great behavior. Then have the students ONLY model the good behavior. This will get them to see the difference in good and bad behavior. This will also get the students to understand how loud they really are.
