My previous post was about self-reflection, and I challenged you to spend time reflecting upon your own life. If you haven’t had time yet, I strongly encourage you to make time this week. Well after my own contemplation, I would like to share some of my own conclusions – my strengths and weaknesses.

My Strengths

• I am a positive person.
• I am hard-working.
• I am willing to help my co-workers.
• I build strong relationships with my students.
• I try to teach to their needs as best as I can.

My Weaknesses

• My classroom management skills aren’t consistent.
• I tend to be softer on girls than boys for the same behavior.
• I may speak too quickly, or spend too much time on extra information, rather than focus on the main lesson.
• I may not give enough attention to students with special needs.
• My lessons aren’t always engaging for my students.

My Plan for Change

• I will try to collaborate with my co-workers more often to create more engaging lessons.
• I will try to pay more attention to my students’ needs – especially those who need extra attention.
• I will try to be more fair in my treatment of boys and girls when they disrupt class.
• I will try to slow down my speech, explain concepts more clearly, and stick to the main lesson.

Now that I have shared some of my reflections, I encourage you to share yours (if you’re comfortable) in the comments!
