  Case: Calling Out
In my 9-12 ESE class, I have one student that calls out the answer even before I am done asking a question. How do I address this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would review the class rules "raising your hand for permission to speak" at the beginning of class. 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.

The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes

The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes
The suggested solution is original Yes
Comments: I like the idea of giving them something physical as a reminder rather than just restating the rules of the class/discussion. It would be time and material consuming to make a sign for everyone if it was necessary to give it to more than one student, but otherwise a creative solution.
