Evaluation
I find it hard to evaluate myself in my teaching. I realize that this is a skill that I should develop. It is great to create constructive feedback for myself because then I can always be improving. I am not sure where the struggle comes from. Perhaps it is that I feel I am perfect...ok, so that's definitely not it. It could be that I don't know what to look for. Another reason might relate to fact that I focus on the wrong things while reviewing my performance. I tend to be very critical of all the wrong things. I worry about my appearance, about the clarity of my voice, about my vernacular and articulation. I become very self conscious when watching me. If I can find a way to look past those items, and concentrate on my teaching styles and techniques, I might improve in my self-evaluations.

It's interesting that you bring up those issues - most people when doing video evaluation will immediately first focus on those types of issues - they're easier to notice, however, as you mentioned that real way to improve performance is to look at those things that will make a difference in your pedagogical performance. We'll keep working on it.
