  Case: DON'T CALL OUT!
I am an intern. My CT is nice (with occasional mood swings), but she does not give me feedback and gets irritated when I ask for her suggestions.
I am having issues with students calling out. It is just two students. So far, I have talked to them but it did not work. I do not want to punish them because they mean well. They really need to stop calling out though. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Use visual cues or extinction to ride the issue or set up a calling out cup. If anyone call's out, you add a marble to a jar or something like that. If the students have more the x amount of marbles, then take something away such as outside time or free time in the classroom.

Comments: This is a great solution! It would provide the students with a constant reminder that calling out is not appropriate. The marbles would give them the visual representation that they need to ensure that they are following directions.

Comments: I think this is a great idea. I think the visual aid will help the students focus and see that their actions are having a consequence.

Comments: This is an interesting solution to this problem and is something i would want to implement in my classroom. It seems like it would be effective as it does not punish the student right away and allows the student to become more aware of their actions.
