6| 5 Ways to Instantly Boost Your Substitute Teacher Confidence

Substitute teaching can really make you feel like you are constantly being put on the spot. Even though it is to be expected given the parameters of the job, it can still be uncomfortable, especially if you don't have a few tricks to calm the anxiety and nervousness until you find your groove. In this episode I share a recent experience I had that made me feel EXACTLY like I was back in an unfamiliar classroom. I relied on some tricks I learned over the years as a teacher to boost my confidence in new situations, in this case to deliver an on-the-spot speech.   I talk about the five strategies I used - and like every good educator - you should steal them. Try them out and see if they instantly boost your confidence in any classroom situation you face this week. Because let’s be honest — confidence isn’t something you magically wake up with. It’s something you build, one small moment at a time. And these five things can make all the difference for you. ✨🌟Not sure where to start?
