Show friendliness in a natural and seemingly 'non-target' approach. These are some of the ways to approach the student: 1. Give slightly longer breaks so that you can circulate round to chat to students. Do it in a way that the target student is the second or the third one you come to talk to. 2. Offer a personality quiz and find out more about your students. Then probe relevant questions to get students to answer. 3. Arrange a game so that the voiceless student is given an important role. Assist him or her if necessary. 4. Pair up students to do simple exercises so that he or she can have the opportunity to discuss the matter and share the thoughts in class. 5. Invite students to complete a 'need survey' and following up.

Es fundamental para un alumno sentirse participativo en un grupo de aprendizaje. Los primeros años de estudio son los que marcarán su pauta de trabajo para toda la vida. Es fundamental tener en cuenta esta etapa si queremos alumnos, no solo con buenos y grandes conocimientos sino también con sus pensamientos y relaciones humanas bien asentadas. Un conflicto interno generado en esta etapa influirá muchísimo en su futuro éxito profesional. Hay que intentar que su mente crezca "limpia" de prejuicios o sesgos siendo muy empático, principalmente, con cada individuo y, en menor medida, con el grupo.

I would ensure the student feels heard by actively listening to them, encouraging their participation in class, and fostering an inclusive and respectful environment where every voice matters.

A strong and healthy student-teacher relationship is essential for effective learning and growth. As facilitators, our role is to empower students, fostering an environment where they feel respected, encouraged, and confident to express themselves. We must ensure that every student feels included, valued, and heard, enabling them to actively participate and contribute meaningfully.

One thing I found helpful, is to create collaborative activities were group members can coordinate and interact together. They can also assign roles among each other so that each student will be working on a specific task to be completed and reviewed by all group members. Another aspect, is moving around and checking students’ work and how they’re interacting together and of course maintaining short conversation with each group to make sure that all students understand the type of task/part they’re working on. Also, incorporating online tools is really helpful for instructors to include all students in discussions: such as online forums/polls where students are able to add their perspectives and be part of an online discussion.

The relationship between a teacher and student is very unique and challenging - Making strong perspectives like teacher's preferences or suppressing different opinions and perspectives from students must be avoided -Teachers often fail to understand that each student is different and mere higher grades or pro-active learning is not the way to decide students capabilities -Teachers needs to provide a space for students to discuss their learning issues and needs to avoid open criticism towards students. - Despite sticking to too strict learning requirements and assessments, slight acceptance towards different ways of learning and assessment can be very helpful

This is why teaching is the most beautiful job—the people are never the same, so it never gets boring. If someone feels on the periphery, I make them think that I am interested in their opinion. If they are afraid to speak up, I pair them with a patient, helpful, and very open student. Students can learn best from each other.
