Fear

Go to class 10 minutes early.
Spend time talking to your students about
their lives and what they are learning.
Notice how that contact reduces
fear for everyone.

. . . .

"Instead of fearing that things will go wrong,
teach today as if everything will go right."

. . . .

Think of your teaching fears as
bad dreams that will never come true.
What creative options will you try now?

. . . .

For one class period, notice the presence of student fears
and how they undermine participation and learning.
What will you do to reduce those fears to make
education more exciting and dynamic?

. . . .

Are you worrying about the effectiveness of your teaching?
Ask your students to write a five minute response to the question:
"How is the class going for you so far?"
