  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!)
I would not call on the student to answer a question in front of the classroom. This may make them feel uncomfortable. I would start by having the students talk to small groups or buddy/partners. The student may feel more comfortable in a small group setting. This also may help boost her self-esteem and make her more confident to answer in front of the whole class.
