Arrange chairs in a circle to ensure all students can see the speaker.

Break the class into smaller groups to allow students to have more opportunities to contribute.

Use think-pair-share to increase the frequency of interaction.

Encourage students to use other students’ names to facilitate more of a sense of community.

During group or partner work, have students ensure everyone around them has a partner to reduce the burden on students who don’t know anyone.

Encourage students to sit in a new seat each class to encourage students to get to know more of their peers.
