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!)
We use the voice level meter in my classroom, these are the various levels and what they mean
Level 0 - No talking
Level 1 - Whisper
Level 2 - Partner Talk
Level 3 - Group Talk
Level 4 - Presentation Voice
Level 5 - Outdoors
Students are always reminded to utilize specific levels for specific activities. For Think Pair Share they use Level 2 , for Group work it is Level 3 etc. Students are rewarded for using the correct voice levels. |

Comments: I just feel like this is a little too vague of a solution because what will really be the judge on how loud each voice is? |

Comments: Implementing a lesson like this will not help a teacher if it is not implemented though out the rest of the school. |

Comments: I believe that it would be very difficult to classify what how loud a student is allowed to talk during each level. |

Comments: I have seen this used on a school wide basis and students understand it because it was taught on day one in the classroom. I would use this and add in mini lessons demonstrating what each level means. Students should model the behavior and learn to point it out to others when they see it happening. Positive praise is also a key. If the students see that speaking at the appropriate level gets them praise then they will be more likely to want to use it. |

Comments: This is a good idea for a poster to hang in the classroom to show the students what level they should be at |

Comments: I love this solution. You can go over the rules at the beginning of the year and tell your students what each number means. You should explain to them that when you say "We should be at a 1" they should know that they should be whispering. This will help to make the students follow directions and understand what each number means. |
