#161: When You’re Questioning If You’re a “Good Enough” Teacher

from The Present Teacher Podcast · host Helena Hains

It might feel like you are the only teacher questioning if they are cut out for the profession. But the truth is, we've all been there. Even the teachers you look up to down the hall or online have all questioned their worth as a teacher.    Which is why this week, we are talking about how common it is to question your worth as a teacher, my vulnerable experience with this mindset, and what helped me transition to the confident teacher I am today.    At the end of the day, you aren't a bad teacher. You are doing an amazing job and you are exactly where you are meant to be. We'll be talking about the systems and steps I took to go from teacher burnout as a first year teacher, to a teacher coaching thousands of teachers around the world. Because if I can do it, so can you.    Download the Ultimate Classroom Management Guide Here: https://thepresentteacher.mykajabi.com/classroom-management-guide  Check Out My Classroom Procedure Slides for Inspo: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Nature-Theme-Classroom-Procedures-Slides-11985169  Get Access to the Ultimate Classroom Management Bundle: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Ultimate-Classroom-Management-Bundle-12219499?st=94900c5f462cfd33e73369c219124e7a  Get Support inside The Present Teacher Circle Community: https://thepresentteacher.com/present-teacher-circle/  ___________________________ ❤️Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thepresentteacher/ 🔥TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@thepresentteacher 🚀Website | https://thepresentteacher.com/ 💜YouTube | https://youtube.com/@ThePresentTeacher?si=meqMmiDHJN-0Jmlr ___________________________ // ABOUT I’m Helena, a coach for new and first-year teachers sharing knowledge on how to have a thriving career and personal life.
