Case: Know it all Nancy
You plan to facilitate a discussion in your class about readings that you assigned. As students enter the room and settle into their seats, you can feel the buzz in the air. They are excited. They want to discuss the subject. You begin class by asking a very open-ended question, a question designed to allow the students to take the subject in an area that interests them. The first student who responds to your question, a question that is barely out of your mouth, is Nancy, or as her classmates call her, "Know-it-all-Nancy." Nancy is a smart young woman who often has very smart things to say about the subject at hand. She answers your question with great precision, citing arguments from sources you did not require her to read. You know from experience that if you stand by quietly and let her finish, class would be over and no one else would have had a chance to speak. So, you cut her off politely to get other students involved in the discussion. You ask another question,directed at another student. Nancy answers. What should you do next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would approach Nancy after the lesson and explain to her that other students need a turn to speak and that she can't be the one to answer all the time. I will set up a plan like rewards for going a whole day without calling out or asking that she writes down all of her answers and she can leave them for me to read at the end of the day. |

| Comments: I like this solution because although Nancy calling out and knowing all the answer can be frustrating it is also nice to have a student so involved and headstrong. |

| Comments: I agree with this. Talking to Nancy after class is the best way to do things. It is awesome that she wants to learn and answer questions so make sure to not discourage her, just make sure she understands what is expected and how everyone deserves a chance to talk. |

| Comments: I do not think that it would be a good idea to tell this student that she cannot answer questions for an entire day. However, I do like that you suggested her writing down her answers so that you can read them. |

| Comments: This does not help the situation. She isn't calling out, but simply thinking that she is being a very good student. |
