Getting over Student Jitters
As students file in and out of my class, I can tell the ones who are not as social or open. I try to give oportunities for these students to share skills which the rest of the class may not posess, so that they may have that a'ha moment. And allow them to show expertise in a particular facet of the class. But you have to be careful to not single out any one student too much, and to try and keep the students who are truly good at everything at bey.
Hi Barry,
I definitely have a mix of students as well. I try to pull information out of the quieters ones as to not completely rely on those who always want to be heard. Something I've found is that the "louder" students seem to dislike the approach and feel that I am not open to their discussion. How do you handle this type of situation?
