How To Make Students Believe In Themselves
Role of an educator extends far beyond merely imparting education. It also involves building the self-confidence of the students and helping them believe in themselves. This becomes especially important when one considers the huge achievement gap that exists among students from varied backgrounds. As an educator, you should recognize the achievement gap and work with students to overcome individual challenges. This will narrow down the differences and help all students in laying the strong foundation that they deserve.
It is well-proven that the right intervention by educators can significantly improve the performance of children, thus helping them succeed in life. The first step in this journey is to engage students in the powerful verbal conversation of “We can, and we will”. It is important to dispel all the preconceived inferiority notions that the students might have, and help to create a self-empowering thought process. A teacher can influence the students in getting rid of the burden of poor performance in any aspect of life and help them in making efforts towards improvement.
Also, teachers should make their students realize that they believe in them and will never give up, irrespective of the outcome. This reassurance can play an important role for students who might lack self-confidence or adult supervision in their life. Constant motivation and appreciation drives students in the best possible way.
Teachers must recognize that it is essential for the students develop an internal drive to achieve big in their lives. Once students start to care about the results that they are achieving, they will be more willing to work with their teachers to achieve the desired outcomes.
The role of the teacher does not end at making students aware of their abilities, in fact they should also provide them the tools that they need to succeed. This could include inculcating love for reading which can be done by introducing them to a public library, or even a trip to local museum, that can spark a curiosity in the students, participating in extempore, etc.
Finally, constant encouragement can help in building the confidence of students. Teachers must understand that results will not be achieved overnight, thus they should make a constant effort to acknowledge every little step in the right direction. However, they must also remember that there is a fine line between lavish praise and positive encouragement. Employing these simple measures in the right balance can help to overcome the existing gap and help students believe in themselves.
