How do I address this?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted February 24, 2018 2:37 am ePymyp Reps: 201 Before I ask questions in these types of settings, I let the students know the type of responses I am looking for. If I would like students to raise their hands in order to answer, I tell them and then ask the question. If I would like students to all answer out loud together, I tell them and then ask the question. This lets students know what is expected of them and prompts them to do what is asked right before it even happens.

It also provides you with the ability to talk with them if the behavior continues and make sure they understand what you are asking of them.   Posted on: February 26, 2018 3:14 am Add a Comment                 Solution 2 Posted February 23, 2018 8:45 pm jaDehy Reps: 200 I would remind the student about the classroom rule of no calling out and the classroom procedure of how students should ask questions. If the student keeps calling out, you have to give them a warning. Multiple warnings results in sitting away from the class because they're now disruptive.

This would be a little thing that I think would remind them to raise their hand to answer a question, along with an engaging thing for them to do.

Going over the rules should help by keeping them in the students head.   Posted on: October 7, 2018 6:22 pm Add a Comment                 Solution 4 Posted February 23, 2018 8:25 pm Kenneth Allen Reps: 207 I would explain to the student, this is a class effort and that he should call out the answer. The student needs to raise his hand.

But I would also make sure to acknowledge that they are participating in class.   Posted on: February 26, 2018 4:31 am Add a Comment                 Solution 5 Posted February 24, 2018 1:45 am qunumy Reps: 201 I would go over classroom rules every morning for a reminder that we do not call out in class. I would then personally remind the student that we need to take turns answering questions in class. If the student continues to call out I would tell them that they are going to have to do their assignment one on one with an aid because their classmates are not getting turns to answer questions.

You could also use a stick with names or numbers and select responses that way to eliminate calling out. You can use an incentive program that allows the students to earn points for the day or week that earns them special privileges like extra computer time. If a student breaks a rule they should be given a warning and if behavior continues than they will need to give you one of their points.

The student that is calling out needs a continual reminder to raise their hand. Having an "answer" sign, they raise when they know the answer would require them to do something physical before calling out. The sign can be a simple hexagon shape poster board glued to a popsicle stick. The sign will be on the desk in front of them to serve as a reminder as well as a physical action before bursting out in class. If your concern that the sign singles out the individual student, then provide a sign to all students or something else. Whatever you decide to use, the goal is to provide the student a fun step, "holding a sign in the air" and providing him with a visual reminder before he is tempted to talk out.

My teacher addresses it by sending them away from the class, whether it be their desk or to do silent reading. At least by sending them away from the class, they know that calling out isn't acceptable.

I would let them know that while you are very happy that they're so eager to answer questions and participate in class, that it is also disrespectful to call out and interrupt others, especially a teacher. Tell them they need to wait till you are finished speaking and then raise their hands quietly and then wait to be called on before shouting out an answer.

By telling the whole class to wait till the question is said and to wait for the teacher to call on someone to answer the question. Also you can have an order in which people answer questions or put names on sticks and pull a stick for the student to answer the question.

Recognize students who raise their hand. Ignore the student who calls out. If they get frustrated, talk to them after class about the reason why you did not call on them or notice them. Tell them that you love that they have ideas, but you just want them to raise their hand because it is a classroom rule.

If you have not implemented a strategy, I would ask the student to not call out and allow for others to answer. At the end of the school day call the student over for a one on one and talk to them about why calling out is not okay in the classroom.

If the behavior does not stop walk over to the student and stand by him while continuing with class. If he still does not stop then discuss with the student the rules and his behavior. If he still continues then discipline will have to be put in play.

Have three sticky notes on their desk at the start of a lesson. Each time they call out, they get one removed. If they have a sticky note left by the end of the lesson, they get a reward.
