Higher Ed: KUT's Jennifer Stayton & Dr. Ed Burger On Speaking Up In Class (And Elsewhere)

Some students raise their hands constantly in class and cannot wait to answer questions and participate in the discussion. For others, the thought of speaking up in class is intimidating and scary so they keep quiet much of the time. In this episode of KUT's podcast "Higher Ed," Southwestern University President Dr. Ed Burger and KUT's Jennifer Stayton discuss speaking up in class: why it can feel so difficult, and what teachers and students can do to encourage more voices in the classroom.
