It's a class of 5 students, so it's already quite small ;), but when we do group projects I assign them into groups of 2 and 3 and ask that they work with the person(s) that they know the least...it's pretty neat not only to see them get to know each other but to share ideas and new viewpoints. Judy, do you have any other suggestions for engaging quieter students...I have one student who becomes visibly anxious when I call on her and I'd like to make sure she's comfortable and not feeling taxed in class discussions. Thank you, I'm… >>>

I tried this last night, and not only did it work, two of my other quieter students joined the discussion! Thanks so much Juan, great advice!

Hi Gary
Thanks for the link! I'm a big fan of mindfulness based stress reduction, I've actually heard it's one of the few stress reduction techniques that has been empirically tested. Personally, I think it may put psychology out of business. ;)
This is a great forum, thanks for responding and for the wealth of ideas.
