Hi Iesha,, You are on the right path to develop into a highly respected educator. You are working on improvement areas that will be of benefit to you. A couple of suggestions I would make would be to use an ongoing method of student feedback. You can use a 5x& card system that will keep you knowledgeable about how your students are perceiving what you are doing in the class. These cards can be filled out weekly, or at the end of a major assignment-problem solving activity-etc. The responses are anonymous thus giving the students the freedom to really express themselves. Experience has shown me that the students give really good feedback and that I can improve the assignments, delivery, and retention through what they share with me. Taking and reviewing video tapes of your teaching is an excellent way to improve your delivery style. A key point is to have someone else also look at the tapes with you. Sometimes we get too critical of ourselves and we over compensate to correct an annoying mannerism to the point that we lose our instructional flow. “Fresh eyes” can help us to improve without destroying our effectiveness.
