After explaining an assignment and putting directions on the SmartBoard for reference, one student in Ms. Smith's class will continue to ask clarifying questions about the assignment. These questions are addressed during the original directions and within the directions on the SmartBoard, and are asked several times within the same class period. Ms. Smith will answer the student's question, and will refer the student to the SmartBoard, where the directions are, should the student have another question, but the student will continue to ask the same question, or similar questions (all that can be answered by looking at the SmartBoard), throughout class. Sometimes, she spends so much time asking questions that she hardly starts an assignment before class ends. This not only occurs in Ms. Smith's class, but in the other four core classes, as well. What can Ms. Smith and her other team teachers do to ensure that the student sits down and has time to work on the assignment instead of always asking questions? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Give one or two of the students in your class the job of being 'question master.' While the working independently, if students have a question, they may ask the 'question master.' This can help a lot if you're working with small groups and don't want to be interrupted.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I love this idea. It gives students the chance to have someone talk for them instead of tons of students asking the same question. This could also promote teamwork. Rated On: March 8, 2021 3:46 am Rated By: pydara
