There are a few tips that student teachers can learn to become better shepherds to their pupils. It is important for a student teacher to remember that they were once a student and at some point, they had a difficult time learning and that sometimes, after a hard class, it's okay to feel bad and cry.

Being too critical or actively trying to upset students' leads to an atmosphere where no one can learn. It is also important to watch how you dress to give off a professional appearance for a student teacher's students to look up to. Some of the most important pieces of advice are to not act like a popular person, work hard, and hold on to the ideals that brought a student teacher to that profession in the first place.
