  Case: Student Shy to Present
I have a student who is excellent in the classroom and goes above and beyond to excel in his work. This student has a learning disability and struggles with reading and word association. As a result, this young man does not like to present in front of the class for obvious reasons. I typically let him present to just me, which he is OK with, yet I still feel that I need to find a way to help him overcome his fear. What are some ways that I could help boost his confidence?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Allowing him to present in a small group will help ease him in the transition of presenting in front of the whole class.It is crucial for us to make students jump out of their comfort zone, that is when learning is taking place.
