Self-confidence is most certainly something teachers can help instill in our young charges. In school may be the only place some children do feel that sense of being worth something. I remember my own experiences as a young student, and I know for a fact that school made all the difference for me, in seeing my own self-worth. I see it in many of my own students too--they come to school to be a part of it, to belong to something worthwhile. Instilling self-confidence can be as simple as smiling at a shy student, but it is a powerful tool.
