Case: Lots of Questions! 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!) I would print out the instructions for the student to review while i am explaining the assignment. The student can highlight and take notes to refer back to. If they still have questions I would ask them to write them down. This could help develop their question so they can make sense of it. After seeing it written out, I would tell the student to reread the instructions to see of they can find the answer. This may become a game to them and encourage them to find the answer on their own. |
