Content: If you don’t take the time to evaluate whether or not your students understand what you impart, your effort and time will go to waste. This process is fundamental if you have ‘at risk’ students who need more attention. Another reason to evaluate yourself is to enhance your skills as an educator. As an expert on a subject, you understand what you’re trying to say. Your students are another story, though. By asking for their feedback, you’ll be able to discover problems in your teaching style and begin fixing them. However, don’t request feedback if you don’t plan on improving accordingly. Not only will you offend the people you’ll be working with for the rest of the school year, but you’ll also end up teaching your students that reflection and self-evaluation are useless tools. Opening up to self-evaluation will also help you close the gap between you and your students. They’ll discover that you, too, are a learner who has successes, failures, frustrations, and concerns.
