Self-awareness is the ability to understand what makes you
who you are as an individual. This
includes recognizing your strengths, and areas for growth, identifying your
emotions. To encourage self-awareness in
my classroom, I often talk to my students about what they are good at. I can then add areas where they can
grow. I often hear about students not
being able to do the math. I encourage them
to try and then I can assist them until they eventually gain the confidence to
do it on their own. I am hoping this can then translate to other areas of their lives.
