Hi Penelope: As teachers, we all have a self perception of how we appear and perform in the classroom with our students. But we don't have eyes in the back of our heads, so getting frequent and consistent feedback about our performance can assist us in our pursuit of continous improvement. We probably have a sense of our strengths, and maybe a hint at our weaker areas, but getting feedback helps create the best in us. The key is being willing to identify where improvement is needed, then having a willingness to change or adapt. This sometimes requires great inner resolve and strength, and a commitment to ouselve to want to improve. Regards, Barry
