What actions should Mr. Gonzales take to encourage more participation in class? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Mr. Gonzales could talk to the students who are not participating in class and figure out why they are not participation. They maybe shy, not understand the material, or just not caring about their grade. By discovering what the cause of the lack of participation is the teacher can address it. If their shy, you could give them a heads up on what question you are going to ask them to answer or call on them to see if they agree or disagree with a peers answer. That way you ease them into participating while feeling comfortable. If their not understanding the material then you can pair them up with a peer or help them one-on-one. If their not caring about their grade then you can conference with them and their parents.
