BACK TO SCHOOL SERIES New Teacher, you don't have Imposter Syndrome...

Hello, Beautiful People! Welcome back to Let's Get School! Today's episode might stir some emotions, but stick around as we delve into a topic that's crucial for new teachers. Have you ever felt like you're not cut out for teaching? That nagging feeling of inadequacy creeping in? Well, let's talk about it. Imposter Syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where individuals doubt their accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud" despite evidence of their competence. Interestingly, new teachers often experience a different set of challenges rather than classical Imposter Syndrome. Why New Teachers Don't Typically Experience Imposter Syndrome: Lack of Previous Success: Imposter Syndrome often stems from a history of achievement and success. However, for new teachers, entering the field with limited experience can mean they haven't had the opportunity to establish a track record of accomplishments to doubt. Unequipped Preparation: Many new teachers find themselves feeling inept not because they doubt their abilities but because they were ill-prepared by their university education. The feeling of being unequipped or unprepared for the job can overshadow feelings of being a "fraud."   So rather than having Imposter Syndrome, you are most likely feeling like a fraud and doubting yourself because you have been ill-prepared for your new role as a teacher!
