During your student teaching, take advantage of it. Ask your teacher for more experience early on and you will feel more comfortable the more practice you get. Don't fret, your end goal is to build positive relationships with your students while also being genuine. They see right through you if you aren't being yourself. That being said, sometimes you have to fake it until you make it. If you lean more on the introverted spectrum, that is okay, you can still engage students and be a wonderful teacher. Take initiative to talk to new students and come up with talking points so you feel comfortable with the students early on. Also, try to learn all of your students names in the first week. Make it a priority to know at least something about each student and write it down if you have to. Let me know if you have any more questions!
