This lack of experience and confidence leaves new graduates unsure whether to keep trying or to walk away and figure out a completely different direction.
- 9Is it normal to doubt yourself during your first year teaching?First-year teachers experience intense self-doubt, feeling completely unprepared and useless while managing a classroom alone. This constant second-guessing makes them question their ability to explain lessons and wonder how they were ever left in charge of students.
