Enhancing Dispositions

There are numerous dispositions that, as a teacher, one must constantly be aware of and striving to accommodate.  One question that might be proposed is how does a teacher keep track of all of these dispositions and still make lesson plans and such.  Up-keeping these dispositions is easily done if a teacher can reflect back on their work and ask themselves periodically if they have been a passionate, creative, compassionate, respectful, confident, respectful teacher.  By reflecting on one's work periodically and having others check in on your work their teaching expertise will continue to blossom and grow till the point where eventually the periods in which they need to reflect back on their work will lengthen to the point where they may be comfortable enough with their work to just keep continuing on without in-depth reflection.  In the end the only substitute for experience in becoming a more effective teacher is persistence and the intrinsic drive to achieve a higher standard of teaching.
