How to Ask Your Teachers for Help When You're Embarrassed or Nervous

Are you a student struggling to ask teachers for help or an educator looking for effective coaching strategies? Join me as I share rock-solid techniques to empower students to advocate for themselves.
In this video, we'll explore the "Notice-Do Loop," a crucial skill for recognizing when you need help and taking steps to address it. I'll discuss common challenges students face, such as feeling overwhelmed, procrastination, or masking their struggles. Discover how to break the cycle and open up communication with your teachers.
💡 Key Strategies Covered:
Personal Check-Ins: Learn how to connect with your teacher on a personal level, fostering a supportive relationship that makes asking for help more comfortable.
Express Gratitude: Understand the power of expressing gratitude to create a positive rapport with your teacher, even in stressful situations.
The Honesty Method: Don't know what help you need? That's okay! I'll guide you through the honesty method-simply tell your teacher you're having a hard time and need assistance figuring things out.
The Ramble Technique: My personal favorite! Discover how a casual, open-ended conversation can lead to uncovering the specific help you need. Share your thoughts, and let the conversation naturally guide you to solutions.
