Managing Nervousness
What Nervousness Looks Like Strategies for Managing Nervousness
Shifting weight from foot to foot and pacing back and forth or up and back
Move naturally about the classroom. Don’t move to/from the same spot over and over.
Talking to the ceiling, floor, notes, or slides
Prepare thoroughly and practice. When you are unsure what to say, your eyes will move away from the students.
Using excessive pause words Pause words include but are not limited to: “OK,” “alright,” “like,” “uh” and “om” Slow your speech. Pause instead
Losing your train of thought Don’t apologize. Stop talking, check notes, look at students and resume talking
Use of distracting gestures Practice on using hands only to emphasize points
