  Case: Shy
I have a female ESE student who seems to get extremely shy every time I call on her for and answer. I will give her a lot of time to respond. I will restate the question in a few different ways. I make every attempt to involve her in the lesson, but she only responds once and a while. How do I ease her anxiety?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Positive reinforcement can go a long way with students who are shy. Assuring her that her answers and her opinions about a subject are correct might ease her stress and anxiety when she is called on to answer a question. Maybe having another student answer first and see if she agrees or has another answer will allow her to see that its okay to answer questions out loud

Comments: Positive reinforcement can take you a long way. However; I do not think calling someone else to answer and then calling on her is going to help. If the person who was called first answers correctly and the answers are not the same she will only feel worst.

Comments: I agree. Some students don't like to share out their answers because they fear that it will be wrong. Maybe give a small lesson about how it's okay to be wrong.
