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!) I think you can talk to her and let her know that you support her 100%. It doesn't matter if the answer that she gives you is wrong but you appreciate her participation. I think she needs to trust you and know that you will never make fun of her and if someone makes fun of her you will discourage that behavior. Then after you talk to her let her know that you will give her a sign before you call on her so she can prepare. She can also put her thoughts in writing and she can read it to the class.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with you, once a student feels like they can trust their teacher, they will feel more comfortable to participate.
