But later, in my Masters and now in my Doctorate, if I want to say something, I generally do. Maybe we just need to give students time to develop and grow in confidence.]]> 2017-12-09 10:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/r_stone/3yrg1oh2ga40/wish/214696457 jgoodison https://padlet.com/r_stone/3yrg1oh2ga40/wish/232041822 Quiet allows the cogs to turn; enables the mind to be free; relieves the stress; promotes creativity!]]> 2018-02-15 17:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/r_stone/3yrg1oh2ga40/wish/232041822 Quiet does not mean disengagement https://padlet.com/r_stone/3yrg1oh2ga40/wish/255976343 There is a fine balance between being quiet, how this can be viewed and disengagement and as staff we have to be clear of the difference & attempt to build relationships with students in order to assess this ]]> 2018-04-27 12:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/r_stone/3yrg1oh2ga40/wish/255976343 Was very quiet at school and have become more of a student that engaged often as I found no one else would. I am a learner who likes to read and digest things so sometimes I don't always want to answer straight away. https://padlet.com/r_stone/3yrg1oh2ga40/wish/255977727 2018-04-27 12:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/r_stone/3yrg1oh2ga40/wish/255977727 Introversion https://padlet.com/r_stone/3yrg1oh2ga40/wish/269831746 If someone is highly introverted they might not want to contribute, feeling very uncomfortable in doing do.

Not all students like to speak up or share ideas in a whole group environment. Accepting that is part of assessing what kind of learner they are. You can assess their non verbal ‘body’ language, are they taking notes, looking interested or disengaged. Do they join in group work or contribute to writing up tasks as a group. A quiet learner could be but isn’t always a disengaged or struggling learner. As tutors you have to use other methods to see which category they fall into and offer support where needed. ]]> 2018-07-10 11:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/r_stone/3yrg1oh2ga40/wish/269833567 Silence https://padlet.com/r_stone/3yrg1oh2ga40/wish/269833602 Pose a question and don’t expect an immediate answer. Don’t fill the gap. Allow thinking time. Allow students to talk amongst themselves, seek clarity and reassurance before feeding back.

Or respond as a teacher with a way of making a student’s answer worthwhile and potentially applicable.
