  1. Okay, so now some of my weaknesses, um my biggest
  2. one, I think, would be not giving enough feedback individually
  3. to the students after their pieces of assessment.
  4. Having a really issue with that this year with all
  5. of my English classes.
  6. Um, it's a lot of correcting and it's a lot
  7. of writing.
  8. Um, and I feel like I over generalize issues when
  9. I passed them back like this is what I'm seeing
  10. as a whole lot of people are having trouble with
  11. this, whereas I know I should be individualizing um, what
  12. each student needs to work on.
  13. Um, also not passing back assignments in a timely manner.
  14. I correct them and enter them into power school very,
  15. very promptly and quickly.
  16. And then I let the collection, um, add up on
  17. my side counter, and sometimes it's weeks later unless they
  18. come looking for it.
  19. Um, the issue is that I usually have some kids
  20. that haven't passed it in on time, so I don't
  21. give them back so that they don't copy it.
  22. It's a vicious cycle.
  23. Another one, I think, would be, um, kind of perfectionism.
  24. Not that I think that I'm perfect in the slightest.
  25. But I always, really sometimes maybe over plan or overthink
  26. things to an extreme that, um, it hinders my productive
  27. ity of getting stuff accomplished.
  28. Um, another thing.
  29. I have a hard time with it right now.
  30. Is planning work, life in home life with two kids
  31. and all these English classes, I have a hard time
  32. not bringing everything home and not marking every little thing
  33. s Oh, that's something actually, my administration and myself have
  34. been working with after they noticed I have a way
  35. too much stuff and in power school.
  36. Um, another thing that I don't want a list as
  37. a weakness, but because I'm a teacher that kids feel
  38. comfortable with and they come to me often.
  39. I think one of my weaknesses, really, if you're looking
  40. at an educator as being someone who delivers the curriculum
  41. is that I become too involved in their lives and
  42. I it sounds terrible, and I don't want to turn
  43. people away kids away when they need to talk to
  44. me. But sometimes I get so involved that I'm their
  45. person, and it's hard for me to get things done.
  46. I may have kids that come to me during other
  47. classes, and I'm trying to teach other classes, but they
  48. really need me at that moment.
  49. Um, I'm always gonna give those kids my time, but
  50. sometimes I have a hard time at, I don't know,
  51. making room for them, but not over shadowing what I
  52. have to do as my actual job, which is teaching
  53. the curriculum.
  54. So it's not a problem, but I have a hard
  55. time finding that balance.
  56. Um, with the school of over 700 students and only
  57. two guidance counselors, we have kids that have a lot
  58. of needs.
  59. And and they find me usually in every school I
  60. get thio, um, teach at so not a problem, but
  61. kind of is because I need to figure out how
  62. to be there for them, but also be their teacher.
