Susan,

This is good advice. When you explain your expectations from the beginning, students are appreciative. Let them know that your class is interactive.

Vincent,

I let them know that the class is interactive from the beginning. I further demonstrate by the way I field questions.

Setting up a classroom climate that shows that answering is important and valued as a way of improving everyone's thinking is critical. Recognizing the effort of thinking and answering is valuable. If a student is recognized for that effort and not punished for an incorrect answer, a student will feel more comfortable answering.
