I've read the books and I know all the classroom strategies by heart. But the moment the room actually tips, kids talking over me, one thing setting off another, my mind goes blank and my voice shakes. They can smell that I've lost it, and it only makes the noise grow.
More people experience this than they realize.
You know the techniques, but when the room tips into chaos you lose control and your nerve.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
