One part of this lesson talked about how we as teachers will be respected if we show confidence in front of the class. I am a very new teacher, and I have not yet found my footing in the confidence department. I know that it will come with time, but I keep wondering if it is better for me to feign confidence to my students or to be more honest about it? I feel like when I don't have confidence, neither do they, and it creates a terrible cycle. How did you guys cope in the beginning when you were unsure of yourself and your ability to be an effective teacher?
