I have students who are “shy” but show confidence in their work. I have started to give them other ways to “communicate” and I showcase their work for them, instead of making them walk up and talk. I do respect the fact that my middle schoolers have a whole different perspective to “being in the limelight” and sometimes they don’t want to see themselves as someone who “does math well”.
