Answer to Question #205041 in English for MALATJI

Question

As a teacher, it is imperative to evaluate yourself because if you do not do so, you will never 

know whether you are on the right track or if you are failing your learners. You are required to 

name and discuss the three different ways you will use to reflect on the process of teaching and 

learning. (15)

Answer 1

Self-evaluation can take numerous forms and can happen at any point during one's professional development. It will also include a variety of references to assist you in your research. Other sources, such as your own PRD areas for development and your school/department/improvement organization's plan, may also be used in your self-evaluation, in addition to the Standards.

1. Reflective Questions: These reflective questions offer opportunities for thought and contemplation. They are not an all-inclusive list, but they are excellent beginning places.
2. Self-evaluation Wheels: The self-evaluation wheels are great coaching tools to help you with your self-evaluation. Working with a coach or simply using them to reflect and ask some deeper questions about your engagement with the Standards/key components of the Standards could be beneficial.

Self-assessment should help you to:

• Consider what you've accomplished.
• Consider what you might do next.
• Take into account your progress and development.
• Understand your professional practice, professional learning, and how it affects your thinking, professional actions, those you work with/support, and students' learning.

3.Enquiry: Taking a 'enquiring position' during the self-evaluation process can be beneficial. It's a willingness to question and challenge your own beliefs and practices. Enquiry is about understanding something deeply and approaching it critically; it both informs and is a component of rigorous self-evaluation.
