Roles of teacher in helping student with low self concept
Provide Positive Feedback and Encouragement
Make a consistent effort to focus more on your students’ positives than their negatives–and back that up with words and actions of support.
E.g: writing a little note on a student’s paper praising her effort can increase her motivation and sense of self-worth.
Teach Students to Cope with Mistakes and Failure
Using the student’s mistake as a teachable moment reinforces the message that people learn from mistakes and at the same time, helps clarify the process for solving the problem for other students who don’t understand
E.g: If a student doesn’t know an answer right away or gets it wrong, don’t move on to another student immediately in search of the correct answer. Instead, try saying something like, “Let’s review how to solve that problem.”
Help Students Develop a Sense of Responsibility
When students are encouraged to contribute to the community, it gives them a sense of ownership and pride.
E.g: Look for special strengths, interests, and gifts in your students and help translate those gifts into responsibilities they can assume.
