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!) There are different applications that allow you to project a sound meter. The meter begins to flash red if it is too loud in the room and stays green if the voice level is acceptable. The teacher is able to set the sound level to what they feel is appropriate. The students can be awarded for the amount of time that they spend in the green. It is engaging for the kids because they get to see the meter working. It is worth a try!
