Care Control Clarify Challenge Captivate Confer Consolidate

Blue – Yes Orange – No Gray – Maybe

What areas are you strengths?

My areas of strength were care, control, and captivate. Those were the areas I received the most
“yes” responses.

How do you display these strengths in class?

The areas I were very high in were care, control, and captivate. I show care in the classroom with
my third graders by developing a supportive and personalized relationship with each student.
Even with the online situation we are in, I try my best to form a unique relationship with each
student. I create an environment where they feel safe to be themselves and express their feelings
to me. I show classroom management or control in the classroom by monitoring student behavior
and keeping them on track and on task. I captivate the students by creating engaging lessons and
keeping information relevant and enjoyable for the students. I try to relate what I teach them to
their real lives.

What area(s) are weaker for you?

The areas I struggled in were clarify and confer. The students said that they don’t understand
each topic we talk about that I don’t check for understanding often. For confer they weren’t sure
if I liked when they asked me questions or that they are allowed to talk about ideas with me.

What can you do to grown in these areas?

In these areas I think I can could grow in clarify by really making sure each student is
understanding before we move on in lessons. Asking more open-ended questions would be a
goal I set for myself in student teaching. I feel I struggle with open-ended questions because it is
difficult for me to open my own mind and think of these questions that would benefit the
students. I could group in confer by making sure students know I love when they ask questions.
A goal I have for myself for student teaching is really enforcing to the students that when they
ask me questions it benefits not only them but me as well. I want them to know they are allowed
to tell me what is on their mind and that this is a democracy not a dictatorship. For student
teaching, I will tell students that they have a choice and voice in their learning and if they have
an idea of how I could do something better that they please share it with me. I can create an idea
bucket where students can anonymously write ideas and put them in the bucket where I will read
them once a week.
