Teaching and Leadership Center's Teacher Self-Assessment
This self-assessment aligns itself with Socrates' mantra that the greatest knowledge is to know yourself. This opportunity for self-reflection will establish personal benchmarks to begin the journey to self-actualization as an accomplished teacher. Thank you for taking the time to complete TLC's self-assessment.
