Self-Awareness

Ability to be in reflective contact with thoughts, emotions, desires, and actions; to maintain a realistic self-image and to regulate oneself.

Dimension Being — Cultivating Our Inner Life

For me

  • Which classroom situations throw me off balance – and what lies behind that?
  • How do I react under stress, and how much of it does my class pick up?

For my class

  • How do you notice in your body that you are getting angry or nervous?
  • What are you good at – and how do you know?

In the classroom

  • A feelings check-in at the start of the lesson using weather cards or a scale from 1 to 5.
  • A learning journal with a weekly question: what helped me today, what slowed me down?

Inner weather

Close your eyes, take three breaths. What is my weather right now – sunny, cloudy, stormy? Anyone who wants to shares it in one word.
