Course summary
‘Self-confidence refers to what we think we can do. Teacher self-confidence, which generally increases over time, relates to the belief you have in your teaching skills but it can vary considerably depending on the context including how well you know the content, your pedagogical knowledge, what you know about the students and how to manage the learning process.’ (Source) Fortunately, there are some practical ways that you can utilise to increase your self-confidence.
