Confidence in the classroom is something that all teachers grapple with at some point in their teaching careers. I've trained thousands of teachers in my life and confidence (or lack thereof) can be a serious detriment to their growth as educators. So, how do you become more confident?

In this confidence series, we cover 16 tips on how to be more confident in the classroom. Even if you struggle with confidence and your role as a teacher, by applying these tips, you will naturally look confident to your students. This dynamic starts a positive feedback loop. You look confident, so your class responds to you better. Because they respond to you better, you become more self-assured - and so on.
