Dealing with Fear in Teaching
|
If teachers are afraid, try to identify what is causing the distress. Is it a fear of failure? ... a fear of what others will think? ... a fear of the unknown? Help them work through whatever is specifically bothering them so they don't panic and run. Also, remind them of God's presence and power to help them in time of need. |
