How To Make College Students More Courageous,

How to Make College Students Bold,

As educators, we know one of the best things that can help success is self-confidence. 

Low self-esteem can kill dreams and low self-esteem can prevent anyone from achieving a goal and succeeding. However, self-confidence often becomes something we have or need at any given moment. We need self-confidence, even in the small things we do every day. On the other hand, sometimes we need the courage to get through a difficult situation. Courage passes when things are difficult or creates fear. For example, it may take self-confidence to pass the final exam, but it takes courage to stick to the qualification program when it comes to investing, reducing your work-life balance, and all your support systems against you to achieve this goal.

As teachers, we will see more students each year who need to build up their courage. They need our help and guidance on how to be courageous in the face of fear or anxiety. Students face many life events during their four years with us, and to help them achieve their goal of graduation, we must also provide them with courageous counseling.

Here are 3 ways to teach students courage:

Reduce Anxiety and Anxiety

If you want your students to be more confident, remember that as a professor, your role is to teach, guide, model, and motivate, not to show students how "the real world is hard." Learning new content and balancing education and health is already hard enough, there is no need to put fear into it. As an added bonus, as it reduces fear and anxiety, and students progress, they build confidence.

To reduce the fear and anxiety of your students, there are a few things you can do, here are some tips:

Set study expectations ahead.

Connect students with useful resources.

Give them tips on what to do if they encounter technical problems.

Provide your contact details and reply to emails/calls in less than 24 hours.

Give a little freedom in case a student has a major health event during a particular week.

Be kind to yourself. You can do this by sharing a little bit about who you are, making videos in the courtroom, using jokes, and building relationships.

Do not give negative feedback in an open forum. Use personal email or grade book responses.

Provide feedback on assignments and discussion questions. This helps the student to know what he has done well and where he can improve. There is no answer that leaves students in the dark about how and how to improve.

Encourage Students to Focus on What They Cannot Control

In the case of learning, you have the authority. Students may feel nervous at times or may feel limited. Maybe they do not like the content, do not understand it, or have personal problems while trying to manage their education. As a professor, if you want to increase your student's confidence, help students focus on what they are controlling. This will help the students to endure in the face of difficulties or temptations because they will see that they are not strong enough.

Here are some tips you can share with students to help them manage their education:

Give students tips on how to avoid procrastination

Share life and work balance resources

Provide students with tools on how to achieve better time management

Help students to be committed to their learning. You can give them tests that can help them better understand how to read. (See Learning Connections Inventory (LCI) using Let Me Read).

Share school/university resources.

Teach students about the importance, and how to build strong support systems and networks.

Teach students how to create SMART policies.

Encourage learners to look honestly at people and jobs in their lives. Then tell them to self-evaluate what / who would be better off compared to retention to achieve those SMART goals.

Teach Communication Skills

It takes courage to do something when you are scared or stressed when pain and sadness happen. It is important to let students know that they are important and can use their voices to make a difference. By teaching students how to speak, you empower them to make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of others - and that often takes great courage. In today's society, the next generation should be heard. They face extreme levels of violence and rage, but the power of speech can change that and move them to action. As a professor, you can also teach your students how to talk about issues that are less socially involved, but more critical aspects of student life; for example, a way of advocating for development or rejecting foreign activities that are not in line with their principles.

Tips for students to improve their communication:

Teach learners the importance of different forms of communication (formal, informal, oral, non-verbal).

Provide tips on how to use social media - as well as pros and cons.

Provide guidance on how to listen and the importance of patience.

Teach students how certain words can be taken as doubts. (For example, looking at how often a student earns by "I think" or "I feel" in a negotiation or business).

Show respect and discuss the importance of being open-minded.

Give an answer on how to be clear and concise, but answer the question very well.

Share resources, such as books, articles, and videos on how to communicate confidently.

By raising students' levels of courage, we help them to endure the trials and tribulations that life throws at them while taking the initiative to believe in making their lives better. As we develop courage, we also build our confidence. Courage and self-confidence are the two most important ingredients in helping our students achieve their goals, achieve their dreams, and achieve their qualifications. For these amazing students and their success when we are lucky enough as a professor to leave a little behind in our heritage.
