Content: Understand strengths and weaknesses
It can also be useful to create lesson plans based on the strengths and weaknesses of each classmate. Getting to know these areas of improvement early on can assist you in creating classroom plans that are catered to the individual needs of your students. 6. Self-reflection
Self-reflection is a person’s ability to reflect on their own needs, desires and interests that can lead to self-acceptance as well as academic success. Teachers who are reflective of their own strengths, weaknesses and characteristics as a teacher and are intentional about improvement are better able to encourage the same level of self-reflection from their students. You can encourage this in your classroom with the following tips: Designate time
Designate a time each day to focus on self-reflection activities. Encourage students to evaluate their own progress for the day and come up with ways they can do better tomorrow. Promote self-evaluation with the focus on improvement by having self-reflection time after a big test or near the end of the semester’s class. Offer privacy
Some students can be hesitant with self-reflection, so good teachers encourage students to share when they are comfortable and allow them to remain private when they are not.
