I ususally group them with outgoing and not so outgoing and switch roles when they see how much fun it can be. This allows the shy students to enjoy and then become part of the activity.

I have learned to de-escalate the situation by calmly listening to them as well as making them feel like they matter. You never get angry with them I have learned in life not in teaching as it would only fuel the fire.

This course was very helpful in many ways in our profession as instructors and found much of the information helpful. I will use all I have learned in my future that I do not already incorporate in my classrooms.
