  Case: Group Management and behavior
I run an after care program of 167 students. They are in groups of 25 to one staff member. We have been having a huge problem with control and quieting the students when we are all in the cafeteria for snack time. We do rewards and have a behavior system it just doesn't seem to be working.

Any advice on how to maintain the noise level and get control over the students is appreciated.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Try to develop some type of communication system with them. For example, one we use frequently with my 6th grades who love to get loud is the "if you can hear my voice, clap once - if you can hear my voice, clap twice" and so on. This typically helps quiet them down. You could also develop a clapping system; when they hear it, they repeat the clapping. Go over the rules of how loud they should be talking and introduce these methods to them. If this isn't working, I'd suggest splitting up some of the groups even more to help keep the noise level down. Hope this helped and good luck !
