Case: The Class Clown
When you ask a student a question relating to the material she always gives a sarcastic comment or makes a joke out of the question. Now she is starting to make jokes randomly during the lesson. This gets the class off task and takes several minutes to get them refocused. How do you deal with the situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would find out if this behavior is for social attention or if she is trying to escape from the question (she might not know the answer). An appropriate response would be to instruct the students not to laugh and to make sure that the 'class clown' does not get in even a word. Using proximity and constant supervision, you can minimize her outbursts. When it does happen, quickly redirect and refocus without making a big deal out of it. You could also try asking her more basic questions that you feel she may have the response to, and then praise her at any opportunity. |

| Comments: I like this suggestion. The student may be using the jokes as a way to avoid answering the question if she does not know the answer. Also, keeping her close to you may help alleviate the outburst. |
