  Case: Students always getting loud
In a class I substituted for, (second grade) the class was quiet at first and then the volume would always get ridiculously loud. I would remind them of the volume and it would stop for a minute but it seemed to always get loud again no matter how many times they were reminded. What could be done for this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would like to know if the conversation is lesson driven or is it off topic chatter? I would address the student or group if the volume is affecting other students or groups in a lesson driven conversation. Explaining to the group or students that you are excited they have a lot of passion about this topic, but we have to respect other groups by lowering the volume.

If it is off topic chatter, you may want to establish a method that will regain the classroom's focus, so everyone can move forward together.

Comments: I enjoyed reading this suggestion because it was more than simply disciplining a class. It also helps to reinforce the purpose of education; it targets the conversation to the topic of choice. By being intentional about focusing students' conversations, it will be easier fro the sub to also influence their volumes.

Comments: I think this response is great because it outlines both situations of off-topic and lesson chatter in the classroom and provides the reasoning and support behind the strategies suggested.
