  Case: Chatty
What is a good way to get the attention of chatty students without yelling at them?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Have a strategy for this before the first day of class. Teach your attention getting strategies on the first day of class, practice, and practice again. Make sure your students know when they can have chatty time, and when you are serious about getting their attention. Have a reward system for good behavior and respect, more so than a punishment system for misbehavior.
