The Self

Chapter

Doing this helps you:

Model emotional honesty and accountability Teach students about respectful communication Maintain authority while still building trust

This allows you to strengthen your relationship with your student, instead of being hated by them they will look at you as the bigger person they can trust. The goal is for your student to see you not only as a teacher but as an understanding and fair individual.

Patience, in this case, is not about never getting angry—it is about knowing how to respond, reflect, and repair. Because in the teaching profession, patience is what will carry you through these moments. It will help you understand your students, learn from your cooperating teacher, and develop your identity as an educator.

In the journey of becoming a teacher, patience is not just a virtue —it is a necessity

Teach with Empathy…

As a social studies pre-service teacher, you will encounter students with different personalities, backgrounds, and life experiences. Some may be active and expressive, while others may be quiet or withdrawn. Some may perform well academically, while others may struggle not because they lack ability, but because they face challenges outside the classroom.
