Case: Mr. Know it All Chase is a student placed in Mr. Smith's advanced math course. He pretends to know it all and interrupts the teacher with answers and "smart" comments all the time. Mr. Smith has talked to Chase about his behavior, which calms him down for a while. Despite his "Mr. Know it all" attitude Chase doesn't well on his evaluations which makes him be upset at Mr. Smith and blame him for his grades. What actions should Mr. Smith take in this case? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I absolutely love what everyone else had to say. Maybe give him a white board, so he can write his answers down quick and then show the answer to you without calling out. Using a behavior chart, and making sure to implement consequences when they do not follow them is also a good idea. I have this same problem with my students at school. Usually before EVERY (yes every...) question I ask, I say "please raise your hand NOT your voices..." then ask my question. This reminds the student EVERY time what the expectations are without singling the out the student. This usually proves very successful. Even making eye contact with them while you say it adds that extra emphasis that they will not call out the answer. |
