  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!)
I would have each group teacher create either a hand signal or call out that gets students attention and helps quiet them down. When teachers put their hand in the air it really does help students realize they need to quiet down. Also saying something like "class class" and having students say "yes yes" back does help get their attention and have them focus back on you. Every group can have something different. Also, you could make it a competition like whichever group quiets first gets to go outside first.
