Self-awareness is how we understand ourselves, our thoughts, beliefs, and values. It is important to know our sense of purpose and what matters to us. I encourage self-awareness during classwork time. I can walk around the classroom and interact with students individually or within a group of students encouraging them. If they are struggling I can point out things they are doing correctly, giving them the confidence to keep trying and they will succeed. I strongly believe that students who work through difficult problems will help them understand who they are and what steps they need to take to succeed in life.
