What action is not recommended for managing quiet or shy students in a classroom setting?

Assuming that quiet or shy students will eventually speak up can be detrimental because it overlooks their individual needs and may leave them feeling unsupported in the classroom. Each student has their own comfort level when it comes to participation, and for some, the pressure to speak without encouragement can be intimidating. It’s important for educators to actively foster an environment where all students feel safe and comfortable to express themselves. By encouraging participation through activities, proactively including students in rotations, and providing quiet time for reflection, teachers create opportunities for shy students to engage at their own pace. These strategies help develop their confidence and encourage them to contribute when they feel ready.
