  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!)
I would focus on the students who are raising their hands and give those students positive praise. The students who call out should realize that they are not getting the attention they want because they are choosing to not raise their hands. I would tell the students who are following directions, "Thank you ___(student's name___ for following directions by raising your hand and waiting to be called on." If necessary, I would recommend reminding the students who call out to follow classroom rules and expectations. Perhaps even pointing out the rules on the chart in room. Students are looking for positive praise and consequences for their actions. I do not think it is necessary for the students to be punished and they should be reminded of what is expected. If the problem continues, I would recommend a warning for calling out and possibly having the student lose out on a reward that day whether it be a break or few minutes of recess, if applicable. Just a small thing for the student to realize it is better to follow the rules than to miss out on a few minutes of the fun.

Comments: Calling attention to positive behavior would give the two calling out an example to look towards. If that doesn't work, I would recommend moving the students out of the discussion area (on the carpet) and possibly into a chair or somewhere outside the group where they can still see and hear what is going on but identify that they are not immediately in the group because they are having trouble following directions.

Comments: Literally praising students for good behavior is a major key to following the rules!! Creating a room where only positive behavior is permitted can make the children who are acting out is out of the norm and hopefully stop and try an be good to get praise from their teacher.

Comments: I love this solution. Praising students who are following directions and not paying attention to the students who are calling out is a great way to handle this situation. It is also a great idea to remind those students who are calling out that it is not okay to call out without raising their hands. Giving consequences to the students who continue to call out even when you warn them is something that is necessary because if you have warned them and they still are not following directions then they do not deserve to be rewarded.

Comments: I think this is a good idea. I would just ignore students that don't have their hands raised so that they can learn to raise them. I would ask other teachers in the school what they suggest if your CT isn't helping.

Comments: My CT suggests positive praise as well. I have some students who do this and get the rest of the class disorganized in the process. She suggested positive praise to the students who are raising their hands. Hopefully the few who don't follow directions will jump on board!

Comments: I think thanking the student you called on for raising their hand and following directions is a great idea, and not just because this is what I do. When students hear this, they are reminded to raise their hand and not call out, without singling out a student in the middle of instructional time.
