Self-awareness means understanding the qualities that shape you as a unique individual, including your strengths, growth areas, and emotions. In my classroom, I foster self-awareness by discussing each student’s strengths and areas for improvement. When students feel unsure about their math skills, I encourage them to give it a try and offer support until they gain the confidence to work independently. My goal is for this confidence and self-awareness to extend beyond math and benefit other aspects of their lives.
