  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!)
Maybe allow the students to work together and take turns answering the questions. Students sometimes feel pressured, even when they know the answer. In a classroom that I observed in, the teacher placed students in groups of two and had them take turns answering questions.

Comments: I think this is a good solution. Having students work in pairs will help build their confidence in themselves and remove the pressure of the whole class listening.
