You don't want to ask the student not to answer because he is the type of student who if you did that he would probably find some other way to be disruptive and then he wouldn't be paying attention at all. Plus, chances are that if he were not yelling out the answers, no one else would have. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Although you do not want to discourage the student from answering the questions he is being disruptive. I would start by addressing the student in a positive manner, tell the student you appreciate his knowledge but you need to make sure that everyone is understanding the problems as well. Ask him to elaborate on an answer if he calls out and then ask the class if they understood what he explain. If some students do understand ask them to repeat what he said in their own words. That way the student that calls out will feel important and then will hopefully give some other students to respond. You could use the same repeating method with him so he is still actively involved in the class.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Rated On: March 2, 2013 2:28 pm Rated By: eHeGuL
