Dispositions Self-Reflection After scoring myself on the Dispositions Rubric, I based my answers on what I thought best described my personality. All of my answers may seem like I gave myself a perfect score; however, I realize that I still have the potential to grow in all of the disposition areas with more experiences that I get in the classrooms. My values and beliefs played a huge role in how I scored myself. I scored myself a value of 3.00 in the disposition area of caring. I believe that I look for the best in others, consider their point of view, am caring and respectful, and I am conscious of not being biased towards any student’s race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, or language. Here is a quote from my Ethnicity Diversity Mission Statement paper in Professor Moser’s class this semester. “As a future educator, I intend to engage with people of diversity with the same love and kindness as I would outside of my career/profession.

When I make decisions I believe that I am purposeful, thoughtful, and mindful. My ability to reflect is based on my faith. In my own reflectiveness, or examination of conscious, I examine all the values that I could work on in myself and then makes changes to improve on them. I expect to take that skill on to my future profession when I am reflecting over lessons or how the day went and what I could have done better to teach the material to my students. Overall, I know that I still have some growing to do in order to become the best teacher that I can be. I can take the reflection and ratings into consideration and work on the areas of dispositions in which I think that I need the most work in. For example, knowledge and flexibility are the top two areas of disposition that I could improve in. I am excited to see how much I will grow over the years and I will continue to work on all of these areas of

    ...ide an effective overview of some of the key considerations within this topic and further created the opportunity for me to input some of my own ideas for future use. I believe for example that what has been shown most significantly is the importance of the ‘environment’ in determining how we think; as with the current fast moving world of work and living, often the demand for quick decision making makes reflection more difficult, with people being more likely to make suboptimal decisions utilizing previous experience and intuition. Further is the crucial idea that reflection heavily depends on the ‘type’ of individual; with some having a more numerical ability that facilitates reflection or some being more ‘open-minded’ in their way of thinking (Baron 1985) that means they are likely to consider a broader spectrum of new possibilities, resulting in good decisions.

    Making decisions is really much more complicated than it seems. When I make decisions, my Id, Ego, and Superego decide my fate. Unfortunately for me, my Id wins far too often, as I often do not study enough. Other personality traits, such as my tendency to over-think and analyze too many things, also play a role. This can influence my other behaviors by making me seem cold and distant with others because I’m too busy thinking. My self-concept is also important.

Later in the class I learned00 that psychology can be the study of the brain, emotions, disorders, and many others.

    This week had the biggest impact on my professional growth. During this week, I learned that meaningful reflection is " the practice or act of analyzing our actions, decisions, or products by focusing on our process of achieving them (York-Barr, Sommers, Ghere & Montie, 2006). There are many benefits of reflecting in the field of education. The most influential is the effect that reflection has on the learning that your students gain. If a teacher meaningfully reflects on their practices they will create lessons to better impact students. According to Carol Ann Tomlinson (2003), “Teacher reflection inevitably attends directly to students ' need for affirmation, contribution, power, purpose, and challenge.” Each time a teacher reflects on their work, they empower their students to learn more. Students recognize their teacher’s reflection and mimic their behavior. I feel like learning about reflection impacted me most because it showed me that I should reflect on the good and the bad. Everything that I teach should be reflected on. The more that I reflect on my work, I will be closer to becoming an expert teacher. Reflection has the biggest impact on professionalism as a teacher. If I am willing to learn from my strengths and mistakes I will impact my students to strive to the best they

    When thinking about these two completely opposite results I asked myself why? Why did I get the scores that I had? Simply put, they are direct reflections of the number percentage that I scored for myself. I see myself as a very spiritual person, and with that in mind it makes up a great deal of what leads my life choices today. I have the beliefs and morals that I have now because of the spiritual involvement that I strive for. As for my lowest score, there is a perfectly logical explanation as well. While I endeavor to help others and put myself on the line for the benefit of another’s health, I often put my own physical wellness on the back burner. Whether that be properly exercising my body and giving it the nutrition that it needs or giving myself a little more self care, I find myself lacking.

    When I contemplate human nature, I believe people know life is finite and while animals live to survive, humans live to try be remembered. People yearn to persist, this explains society’s obsession with immortality, vampires, zombies, and the longing to be reminisced. Collectively, I think many humans dread loneliness, society equates isolation with emptiness and as a substitute they engage in a surplus of consumerism to feel comfort. People relentlessly upload pictures to feel reassured by others. People desire authentic connection and due to technology and social media, I conclude that many people fail to create meaningful relationships. There is a subtle hollowness that many oppose, yet never resolve.
