Students are able to sniff out any teacher who is nervous or fearful. This causes the reaction for students to attack that teacher and cause them grief. One of the best ways to prevent this is to remain confident in what you are doing and what you are saying.
One of the biggest problems that I worry about is whether the students will attempt to walk all over me. i know that I will not simply lie their and allow that, but having some strategies to help me prevent this certainly doesn't hurt. Remaining confident is one thing that I need to work in so that my students can feel immediately that teaching them chemistry is something that is comfortable me. I know a lot about chemistry and I know how I need to explain it, so I need to show that I'm prepared and confident in my abilities as a teacher.
