Involving all students in questioning sessions

Hi Cynthia, I find that there are two ways to handle this. I can "tactfully" say "Let's give someone else a chance to answer" and pause. Sometimes I will take the student aside, compliment them on their willingness to answer questions and tell them that I hope they understand that I am trying to get more students to participate. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Polick

Hi Thomas, I agree - when students understand the relevance of what they are learning, they are more likely to understand and remember. Susan Polick
