    A1) They may be overlooked by teachers or overshadowed by other kids. #mnlead
  • ritaplatt Nov 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    A1: One think to consider is if introverted = shy. I don't think so. Introverts aren't necessarily shy #mnlead

    A1 Extroverts (Es) can enter conversations early and dominate them. Ts move on before Introverts (Is) have participated. #mnlead
  • bretdom - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A1 Not having their voice heard. S's can get ignored b/c they don't want to have to fight to get their ideas out. #mnlead

    I appreciate the distinction. We have to be careful about making assumptions based on “extrovert” & “introvert” terms. #mnlead

  • JonHeeren Nov 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    #mnlead A1) introverts are the quiet ones and will only talk to you one on one and you will need to initiate convos
  • AndreAnnalisa Nov 6 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A1. Introverted students might be overwhelmed with demands to participate in large group discussion. #mnlead
  • bretdom - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:14 PM EST
    Couldn't agree with you more Trevan. I feel the need to recharge without considering myself an introvert. #mnlead

    Exactly. And this may be perceived as not interested or engaged...which is probably not accurate. #mnlead

    A1 Schools by #s, design, and structure may overwhelm those that find creativity in other ways. Likely why they unplug more at home. #mnlead
  • Clouducation_ Nov 6 @ 8:15 PM EST
    Is school geared, in general, for extroverted or more social kids? #mnlead
  • ritaplatt Nov 6 @ 8:15 PM EST
    So true! Participation can happen when sts r deeply connected to what's happening but r thinking/listening #mnlead
    In reply to @htobrien, @Clouducation_

    Totally agree. People may say they are snobbish too, but that's so false! Introverts are some of my dearest friends. #mnlead

    A2 Yes #mnlead

    Generally, yes. And often reported back as concerning with terms like "anti-social", "loner", and "shy". #mnlead

    Hard to say. Classroom discussion may “favor” Es while homework or written assignments may “favor” Is. #mnlead

    "snob" label is something I've seen wrongly applied many times. "Assume best intentions" is a good rule to teach kids #mnlead

    Q2: coming up! #mnlead
  • whiteeducator Nov 6 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A1: Often, we only see participation/engagement as sharing/being vocal, and we need to change that. Broaden the definition. #mnlead

    Q2: What should we as educators be aware of when considering introverted or shy kids we work with? #mnlead
  • steph_molitor Nov 6 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A1 S's can seem disengaged but really just avoiding having to share. #hopdina #MNlead
  • TrevanDThomas Nov 6 @ 8:18 PM EST
    That is a good question. It really depends on if the classroom is teacher-oriented or not. #mnlead

    A2 Allowing time for reflection, and scaling discussions so there are pairs, small groups, leading up to large group. #mnlead
