Usually I will feel a little bit nervous when I know that I will give a lesson in front of many teachers. How do you feel about that? Do you feel a little bit nervous and how do you cope with the anxiety? Share your experience here,please

Nervous only at the beginning of the class, as it goes on, I become relax. To avoid being nervous, u have to fully get prepared for the lesson and before the class, practise it repeatedly until u r highly proficient. Be confident and encourage yourself.

Oh yes, that is better than my idea, I am sure once I would be busy with the class and avoid looking at the teachers judging me, I would be more like me and go on normally. So, I should not look toward the people watching me. Thanks.

I would be extra cautious I guess or may be a little nervous too. But I am sure I would manage in the end some how. But one thing is for sure that it is going to be one horrible experience for me.

I feel nervous and scared. I unable to sleep well the night before and prepare extra things for the class. I've been there, I mean being observe when I am giving lesson last year. Its a great experience because I have to give extra effort and now all that difficulties have helped me to become a good teacher.

I typically get nervous when I know someone is coming in to observe my classroom. Even if it's just another adult and they're not scoring me by any means. If it's a principal or boss of some kind then I'm super nervous just because I worry things won't go right. And yes, they should understand that! But it still gets me jittery. lol I always worry about what others think of me, even when it has nothing to do with teaching. So this naturally just makes me a little nervous - even if I am a great teacher!
