Fear in the Land of Alternative Education

A commonly observed challenge in alternative education is that we fear that we aren’t qualified to guide young people.

Fear is not inherently bad. Like any emotion, it’s a signal. Emotional intelligence partially means being able to tune in to that emotion, listen to it, make meaning, and respond. So, when we can, we must pause. Take the time to sit with our fear and have a much needed conversation. Why are you here, fear? What do I need from you? Tease out its function, search for validity. In all likelihood, there’s some truth to find. By pausing, being curious, and demonstrating courage, you will better understand and own your insecurities, thereby conquering them.
