Suggestions...

How do you deal with students that are being too loud in the media center? Are there positive ways to deal with this issue?

  1. I give them 2 warnings and then send them back to class.

  2. I think it is important to understand the difference between productive noise and unnecessary noise. Once you have determined that the noise is unnecessary then address those issues with individuals or small groups by asking them to turn down their volume.

  3. Remind them to use library or inside voices. If it's lunchtime, and they cannot/will not comply, send them out.

  4. Raise my voice and say to the class in general "You need to be working quietly." Walk over to the loud students and ask them what then need help with and remind them that they are to be working quietly.

  5. I don't know if it's all that positive, but if students are too loud I simply ask them to remember where they are and to speak in an appropriate noise level. If they continue I give them a second warning that they will be asked to leave if they can't tone it down. The third time I ask them to leave. If they are with a teacher I will still speak directly to the students and go through the same consequences.

  6. Most of the time the teacher is in charge of the class and it is their responsibility to make sure the students behave appropriately while they are here. Also, the students are usually told that they should not embarrass their teacher if they want to come back to the media center. I usually only have to tell a class once that thay need to bring the volume down,and focus on the reason they are in the media center.

  7. When students come in and sit down for a storytime or a lesson, sometimes they can be a little rowdy! I always use a clapping pattern or something with my hands to get their attention. This technique seems to work with every grade level. It can be anything- whatever I think up at the moment: "Fingers apart, fingers together, show three fingers, show five, arms out, arms up, etc." This always helps me to get their attention before I begin.
