I've been thinking a lot about the classroom strategies for "the quiet student". I have a couple of students in particular in mind...they complete assignments and do well on tests, but I feel like we are missing out on things they could add to the class if they would actively participate. I am going to be more intentional before and after class in trying to get to know them better.
I really liked the suggestion to utilize panel discussions. I think having a physical barrier (the table) and three other students (as support) might be an effective way to get them to participate.
