“An important goal for any teacher should be instilling a sense of self-worth and confidence in their students. Learning is a vulnerable process, so creating an environment where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and be themselves is crucial. When students believe in their own abilities and potential, they are more open to taking risks and pushing themselves further.”
