teachers....a short multiple choice quiz...to see what you would do in these situations?

Question

b. try to ignore her when she is frantically waving her hand to answer
c. put her in someone else's class
d. (other)

2.David is a new student in the middle of the year. You are in the middle of the chapters so he won't be able to understand the last half without the first half.

a. have in him before/afterschool/during recess to get him caught up
b. give him busy work and he'll jump in on the new chapter
c. just pretend he has been there all along

Answer 1

Question 1 D Put every child's name on a Popsicle stick. Draw Popsicle sticks when you ask a question. Only the child who is drawn can answer that question.
OR
Give her a certain number of responses per day. She can choose when she would like to answer and when she's out of responses it's over

question 2
A you put into every child the very best and if it required extra time (which is always does) it's part of the job

Answer 2

For the first question I would talk with her again and if the second discussion didn't work I would try to set up a system where she could write down her answers to, say every second or third question, and hand it in to me. By using this second technique I would accomplish that Sally could still be enthusiastic about and able to answer each question, but at the same time allowing the other students to answer.

For the second question I would work with him perhaps after school and other opportunistic times throughout the day, at the same time assigning reading to be done as homework to catch him up. I would also assign him a reading buddy, astudent that is ahead or a bright student that could help David when I couldn't.

Answer 3

1. b...but only if you explain to her ahead of time that this is what you will do. Ignoring can be one of the most effective methods for disciplining attention-grabbing students.
OR
d...Give her 3 questions a day she may answer--she has to learn to ration them out. It's free if no one has volunteered a correct answer for some time.

2. a and c. During class, you act as if he's been there all the time, if only because you don't want to embarrass him by singling him out., but also because you don't necessarily want his being there to hurt your regular instruction. Before or after class then is where the catch up takes place, if that's what he wants or needs. Math is where this gets really tricky because it's so skill-based, but at least there's usually enough quiet working time to help get him caught up then perhaps.

Answer 4

1. A, then B. Talk with her again and then tell her that she only gets 3 chances to answer a question because it isn't fair to the others. Then ignore after 3 answers.

2. He needs to be brought up to speed on the most important concepts but don't take him out of recess because that's the main place he has to make friends.

Answer 5

1) A to start, then on to D ("Sally, why don't we let someone else try this one?")

2) Depends. If A is possible, then start there. If not, find a time when you can get together and catch him up as quickly as possible. There should be enough review in the regular class that it won't take too long.

Answer 6

Question 1: Go with option A, and keep working on her without giving up.

Question 2: Get the parents involved, and have him catch up in part at home, and in part after school as needed.

Answer 7

D...it doesn't matter how bright a student is if he/she is unable to control their own behavior. Over enthusiasm can be a major disruption.

B and D...let his busy work be silent reading/quizzes of what he's missed. Grade it for credit only. Then let him jump in on a new chapter.
