Self-Assessment and Reflection

As an experienced and veteran teacher, it is necessary for me to periodically reflect and re-evaluate my effectiveness as an educator. This should be the case for all teachers! The better I understand my professional strengths and opportunities for growth, the better prepared I am to address the diverse learning styles of my math students. Through self-assessment, I reaffirm that learning is a never-ending process. As times change, so do effective methodologies and students' learning styles. Through self-evaluation, I can understand in greater depth my own individual learning and teaching styles, as well as recognize the need to keep up with the evolving times and technologies. A teacher's strengths as an educator are paralleled by his/her strengths as a student. Ultimately, this reflection process leads to the development of various strategies that help me become a more effective educator.
