Instructor Anxiety
I have made this mistake, not intentionally, but I have done it. My plate is full with creating new cirricullm, I have students having a hard time grasping the material, I have another instructor call out, and my anxiety shines on through. When this happen's, immediatly it shines through in my students. So it is SO important, we as instructor's, stay focused on what we are doing at that moment with the students and let nothing eles filter through. If we don't our students start carrying the same anxiety
Hi Michael,
I concur! Even as instructors, we have to be confident in our abilities and be extremely knowledgeable about our subject matter. Preparation is key to being an effective instructor.

Public speaking anxiety is no different from lecturing to students. Both require confident and Ativan.
Hi Ashley,
I agree! Having a back up plan is a saving grace. I've known some instructors to have a back up plan to a back up plan.

I think it is always a good idea to have back up plans. That way if I get called out of the classroom for a moment I can immediately give the students a quick activity that they can complete without a lot of instruction.
