I am constantly reminding them not to shout out. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Implement a system of hand signals that students can use to indicate they have something to say. One such gesture is to raise one finger. As a reminder, post a visual indication in the classroom, such as an icon of a raised hand. When students correctly raise their hands, praise them and give them a reward to reinforce the desired behavior. Make expectations and consequences for shouting out while not raising your hands clear. Students should be encouraged to observe their peers who constantly raise their hands. Students that shout out a lot should be reminded of the rule and its significance in a private discussion.
