Case: Wants to talk to me in the middle of my lesson In my internship classroom, I have a student that literally has a story for everything that I prepare a lesson on. She always wants to talk to me in the middle of my lessons and it gets the entire classroom off task. I have tried multiple times to dismiss her stories, by saying "Tell me after class", "We need to focus on this right now", and the often harsh "Does this have anything to do with what we are talking about in our lesson". She is on the autism spectrum and gets very upset when you redirect her back to the lesson. What do I do so I do not hurt this students feelings, as well as continue to discipline her so she is not constantly blurting out in the middle of my lessons? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) When the students raise their hands after you've introduced the topic I would make a blunt statement along the lines of "Are these questions or stories?" and ask the students who have stories to wait until after the lesson to share and then call on the students with their hands raised for questions. If a student still raises their hand but ultimately has a story, I would stop them short and say this is a time for questions. |
