Welcome to
week six of Classroom Management Series rockstar teachers! We are tackling one classroom
management problem at a time. here
If you can think of any issues you want to address, post it below in the
comment section.
This week we
are finding solutions to the issue of students calling out. Calling
out means: students do not wait to have permission to answer a question or ask
for permission to do something.
We have
already addressed when students talking when they aren't supposed to but this post
is about answering questions or asking permission.
Preventive
Solutions
- Teach a specific routine for answering questions-raising their hand
- Teach a specific routine for getting your attention for help or permission to get out of their seat
- Instead of asking students to volunteer answers, call on them by pulling their name out of a jar or bag
Responsive
Solutions
- Ignore the student
- Stop class and practice how to answer a question/get teacher’s attention
- Have students
fill out the Behavior Notice paper
Download HERE for FREE - Praise students who are doing what they are supposed
- ex. “Good job Maria for raising your hand without saying anything to answer the question
- Call out students who are doing what they are supposed by name and thank them
- ex. "Thank you Gerald for raising your hand to ask permission to get out of your desk"
- If you have a point system for rewards take points away from those that call out
- ex. 20 points at the end of the week gets that student 5 minutes of free time
Next week's question: What do you do when students come in late? Please leave your tips in the comment section below.
