  Case: Calling Out
Our class rules state that students must raise their hands before answering or speaking in class. I have an ESE student that is very intelligent and likes to answer all of the questions, but is constantly calling out before other students have a chance to raise their hands. I have tried reminding him of the classroom expectations, but the issue still remains. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would use the Popsicle stick activity. Each student has their name or roster number on a Popsicle stick, and they are all placed in a cup. Each time someone is going to be asked to answer, the teacher draws a stick. After being called on, their stick is placed to the side until all of the sticks have been chosen. Address the students at the beginning that they will have their names drawn by the sticks. This will give everyone a chance to answer and the student will understand they are not being overlooked. They will know that they have just as much a chance to be chosen to answer as the other students. This also makes the student a part of the class, and the class will not think they are receiving any "special treatment."
