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!) This sounds like short staffed for this program. A way to control their behaviors is to keep them busy. Whether it be a new game, or separating them into smaller groups within the 25, try to find a way to keep them busy! There is not time to misbehave if they are constantly occupied.
