Wed, 01 Jul 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Teacher Confidence Characteristics Confidence and charisma are two central qualities for a teacher to possess, especially when it comes to teaching young learners. A teacher spends several hours a day being the center of attention in front of the same groups of kids. If their confidence is lacking, the students will be quick to notice, which will negatively impact the effectiveness of one's teaching as well as a discipline within the classroom. It's great when someone congratulates you and gives you a quick confidence boost, but as a teacher, it's your job to do that for your students, not the other way around. You have to be in charge of nurturing your self-confidence. Whether you're new to teaching or have years of experience,...  [Read more]
