  Case: Very loud student
Mrs. Smith is a very calm and loving teacher. She has just received a new student to her classroom. This student was obviously allowed to yell out and blurt out at will at her old school. Mrs. Smith and her class, being a very quiet group is concerned that this young lady is not going to acclimate to the new environment without some sort of negative feelings from the student. What is the best way to handle this young lady?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would implement a rewards system with the student. Tell the student that she may not blurt out in class, and she needs to keep her voice to an "inside voice" or a "level 1". Have her keep a sticky note on her desk. If she goes through a whole lesson or activity without blurting out or being loud, tell her to put a tally on her sticky note. When she gets to a certain number of tallies (say, 10), she is then responsible to tell you that she has reached that number of tallies. Then, you will give her a reward of her choice, like a healthy snack or a homework pass.

Comments: Implementing a rewards system with students is a great way to get them to behave. Especially new, louder students. Some teachers have different ways to implement it, but having them keep track is a good idea because it makes them responsible. However, you may need to also keep track just so you know how many tally's they actually have.

Comments: Incentives help keep the student on track and discourages negative behavior. This will help the student use positive behavior in the classroom.
