Strategies for ...


Calling out/shouting across the room:

  • Strike/warning as per school policy
  • Reminder
  • Stare
  • Hand up – wait – move on
  • Pot of fairness (one voice)
  • Tell them you have a hearing problem – you can only hear children who have their hands up
  • Calling out tokens – 3 in lesson
  • Blurt Chart – each child has 3 strikes - each time they shout out or speak when they aren’t supposed to they lose 1 point
  • Praise those with their hands up
  • “That would have been a really good answer, it’s a shame your hand wasn’t up"
  • Ask them to write their comment/question on a whiteboard to show teacher
  • Gems/stickers for hands up
  • Don't use hands up to get answers
  • Whiteboards for answers
  • Use hands on nose as an alternative to hands up
  • Seating plans
  • Have a conversation and short of 'feed them' the answer, then go to the front and ask the question
  • Make the students hold you accountable for not choosing someone who calls out
  • Visual dial for the classroom: choice between hands up/shout out/I'm choosing
  • Thank people who show the behaviour you expect
  • Think, pair, share
  • Tactical ignoring
  • Lollipop sticks for random questioning
