What is a huge incentives that I use which is a game changer is that I will start the class off with I do phone calls home.. as the gasp I smile and say positive phone calls. We then go over what is above and beyond. They know what is expected. Additionally, I train them from here on out. No reading the riot act anymore.
I also like waterfall! Wshhhhh. Even with my freshman... I have a soft voice so I have to get the kids to get each other quiet. Restart doing this from minute one.. if they're talkative I just sit there and wait and somebody will say be quiet or shush or shut up - thanks. Every once in a while there is a class where people won't step up. I point this out and kind of almost scold them until somebody does. Smile
What strategy helped the most for you?

That’s a good one :) I never heard of that!!
At the end of the day I go to the office and get the phone numbers. They are brief and a pleasure to do. 5 years running now -
Hello. Loving it :-)
I’m so glad, thank you!!
Oh and when the person does say shut up I say thank you, please use another word like stop talking or be quiet...
