Being in the most confident frame of mind and keeping that confidence, even when the job search isn't producing desirable results, is the most important state to keep and be in. It is also the most difficult to maintain over a length of time.

This course is making me look more closely at my teaching methods. I find myself putting myself in my students shoes, trying to figure out how much attention I am paying to their needs beyond learning the skills. I think I am measuring up pretty well. I like the idea of the "student card." This will make it easier to see the specific needs the students have that will help them be more successful in my class.
