I'm a teacher, and student anxiety is making me feel like a terrible teacher.

I've just finished reading this thread on r/AskTeenGirls about how students feel when they're asked to present in front of the class. I'm a History teacher, and in my lessons, even when we're doing group activities, I always pull the kids up on speaking in a way that the others can't hear. I've always felt like this is the right thing to do - after all, I need to be able to hear, I have colleagues with hearing difficulties who need to be able to hear, and if we're ever in a big hall doing mock presentations for parents, what's going to happen then?<br><br>I started teaching about four years ago, and in that time I've had no complaints from my tutors or my students (I keep a google form where my students can anonymously share concerns or thoughts on my style of teaching). My lessons are often pupil-led, with group work and student discussions, and I try to tailor my teaching to different styles of learning. It's so important to me to be approachable, and I feel like I'm failing. I've also always thought that it's sensible to gently push kids to do things that they find challenging, because as a History teacher I feel like it's my job to make sure they leave my classroom ready to go into the world of work.<br><br>I'm now second-guessing every interaction I have with my students. If I pull them up on speaking quietly, am I causing them to feel humiliated? Should I be changing the way I run my lessons to accommodate all the quiet kids? I want every student to feel safe in my classroom, and I understand that pulling people up on their issues in front of their classmates must be embarrassing. I'm just not sure of how to approach this, and would really love some insight. I want my classroom to be a space where everyone feels happy, and I don't know if that's what I've been doing so far.<br><br>EDIT: Thanks so much for all your comments - please bear in mind that I'm a secondary school teacher, and that my classes are often quite large, so one-to-one support can be challenging. I'm also in the UK, where presentations to parents are the norm at the end of the year.
