  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!)
Unfortunately, you can only control what goes on in your classroom. I would start by making sure your students are aware of your expectations. I would re-direct students often. I went to a school where the teacher had a voice level chart. He used the chart for the students to self monitor and re-directed when necessary.
