Class Participation
Sharing in Class
When I was in school, I FEARED being called on by my teachers! I felt more comfortable participating in small groups and asking my teacher questions one-on-one. Regardless, I was still paying attention and did my work. This is what I expect from students. I know some students are more willing to speak up, while others prefer to share their input in writing or through one-on-one conversation. Both are equally as valuable!
