Evaluation and honest self-assesment is

# data[].attributes.body
Reflecting on yourself as a teacher is difficult as you have to be sincere in the start level and target level description and have to get used to doing so. I have taken notes on my teaching practice but not in a regular manner.

# data[].attributes.body
Examining every lesson at the end could be very useful. You have to note and remember the pros and cons of your teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
taking notes after each lesson it is a good way to improve yourself

# data[].attributes.body
We must produce reports of our activity. It is important to have proves and to practice a self-assessment for a good report and evaluation that we will have received ftom different stakeholders.

# data[].attributes.body
Usually I'm looking all materials you can find on a particular topic, analyze them all and then choose the most suitable to the needs of my class.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been using Excel worksheets to keep and review my lessons, although the self-assessment is not very easy this way...

# data[].attributes.body
Set up descriptors, reflect on it, on concrete exemple-very important goals. I do take notes about teaching practice. I do use new digital tools, as prezi. To pay attention to our self inclinations is also important.

# data[].attributes.body
Determining personal staring point is important as well as difficult.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that Monica mentions with a great way benefits and challenges concerning self-assessment. I usually take notes about my teaching practice but it is usually done on a notebook and many times there is no time to keep them online. But this ipad activity seems to be very attractive and i will try this with my students next week! I am sure that my students will be excited. The difficulty is that according to school rules the mobile learning is not really supported

since mobile phones, tablets etc are not "allowed"! Of course I will ask a special permission and I am not going to have any problem but theMobile learning is the future and the limited rules should be changed soon!

Thanks Monica!

# data[].attributes.body
Now I discovered that capturing notes, can affect the self-assessment. Thank you.

# data[].attributes.body
Usually I make a note on the lesson plan regarding feelings, sutissfactory or suggestions what could have been different and maybe better.

# data[].attributes.body
self assessment is important

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is necessary to determine one's personal starting point but, what is crucial, is to assess how much our impriovements have positively changed the relationship with the class!

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main challenge of self-assessment, as Monica stated, is
to determine our starting stage; this must be well defined and having practical examples to help us do this, is a very good idea. I don´t usually take notes about my teaching practice; I do some reflection on materials and what
worked better or not and if I managed to do what I have planned for the school year.

In Portugal, we have to make a auto-reflection report, at the end of
each school year. This practice is compulsive for every teacher, for a few years now. It´s a way of evaluating the teachers and in my point of view cannot be seen as
peer-reviewing but may be a stimulus for us to self-assess our practices. These last two years I started to think that it´s difficult to reflect on my practices and determine if I have achieved something if I haven´t determine
some objectives to work on during the school year. So, now I define some objectives for next school year but I  do this alone and it´s very difficult to be objective.

# data[].attributes.body
I watch the video and must say that

I like Monica’s suggestions. I also take notes for evaluating my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Monica has done a very good job and her suggestions are really very interesting. I don't usually take notes of my activities in the classroom, but this activity can really reveals really useful when you want to collect evidences of your pupils' and yours' progress.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the fact of having a well designed tool as it is mentioned at the beginning of this exemple is essential.

About digital competence it is true that many times, when faced with different tasks in online courses, we have to use it and it is a great way of learning about new tools that will be for us new mates in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
The benefit of being engaged in self-assessment is to know your level and know how to improve your teaching. The challenge is to find time to do that. I usually do not take notes about my teaching practice, but I will try.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Monica!

As Monica says it must be very difficult to estimate your starting point. And underestimating or overestimating must be very stressfull but we can learn from that as well. To estimate any level of competence one should have criterias to reflect on.

# data[].attributes.body
I regularly take notes of my teaching activities. I stop to think about what the effect my teaching activity had on students and their motivation.

# data[].attributes.body
I definetely start taking notes on the activities i give as to reflect upon my teaching practice .

# data[].attributes.body
Very interesting video and great ideas about assessment. It seems necessary to improve.

# data[].attributes.body
I'll keep in mind Monica's 3 self assessment activities: observation, reflection, organization of materials.

# data[].attributes.body
Interesting video with great ideas. Totally agree on the importance of self-assessment and how difficult it can be sometimes. Reflect about our practices and our daily routines as teachers is very useful. But being able to share it with peers is also very useful.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked very much the scenarios of lessons. the tools she mentioned at work work with students.A very interesting e-twinning project.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment potentially can help us to understand where we lack in efficiency in our teaching (strategy, techniques, means, content, integration of ICT...). That way self-assessment is a mean of professional advancement and opens new horizons that might make our students more active in their learning.
The bigger challenge is subjectivity, because we can't distance ourselves enough and so we can't become critical observers. Of course,it is difficult one to be completely objective, when it comes to judge himself and his work. But we have to try to be as objective as possible, especially about competencies that we could develop ourselves and help our students acquire them.
Taking note after every class isn't something I do. I randomly note something that didn't go well, in order to avoid it next time, but I do not elaborate much on it. Maybe It's something I should try to do more and constantly, because it will help my memory to recall exactly what was the situation and the problem that popped up.

# data[].attributes.body
Interesting presentation, Monica. Thank you. As a Portuguese teacher I 'm completely with Miguel Tomás's words when he explains the difficulties Portuguese teachers have to face daily, while trying desperately to improve their work. Honestly speaking about my self-assessment practices, I never take notes for reflection about the way I did things. What I do, besides asking for some feedback to my students, is to note what worked or didn't work when I'm doing something I've never done before, mas, most of the time, I don't read them, reflectively. Rather, I tend to change everything, even what was well done, because, unfortunately, in Portugal, teachers at the 3rd "ciclo" and secondary level, most of us having 8 classes of 30 students each, with lessons of 45 minutes each, having to move from room and Pavillion each 45 minutes, don't have time for accurate reflection on their job or sharing /doing collaborative work with their peers.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to define the evaluation criteria, to know what to take into account when doing self-assessment and peer assessment. Only then we can evaluate more objectively. I usually make notes on some aspects that I find relevant, for example, which can improve the next time you perform a similar activity. These notes help me to improve my teaching practice.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have the habit of taking notes on the teaching job done. Of course, I stop to reflect on the results that my students can achieve. On the other hand, the evaluation also implies the self-assessment. It allows you to correct the educational process to ensure the effectiveness of the intervention.

# data[].attributes.body
Really interesting Monica experience's. As a rule I sign on the class register electronically not only the subjects but also the tools, the techniques I used during the lesson. But my self-evaluation I always made on the results of my students in the use of new digital tools, integrated with the study of French or with multidisciplinary courses. A bit 'rough definitely, but if they improve I consider my strategies good. I have to learn to self-evaluate me in a more structured ...

# data[].attributes.body
I think taking notes is a good idea because you can improve parts you are not sattisfied with and do it differently next time, and learn from you mistakes.

# data[].attributes.body
I often take notes about my teaching activities in order to implent what works and change or improve what doesn't work as I expexted

# data[].attributes.body
I normally add in notes in the form of speech bubbles to my lesson plans as I teach. I particularly note what is working well and what is not working so well. This helps me to make improvements to my teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have a daily journal or regular notes of my teaching practice. But I use to reflect at the end of every day about what happens during every lesson. Often I share my ideas with some colleagues.

I agree with Miguel Tomas, we loose to much time with bureaucracy . It's a paradox ....

# data[].attributes.body
I usually take notes on my teaching practice, because not only you can reflect on its work, but when I realize that something has not gone as I expected I can review and try to improve for then reach the intended objective.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for sharing your tips, Monica. Sometimes I record my activities and I take notes about my work with students. I understood that it is very useful to take notes and review those notes regularly.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is a very good idea to keep notes for the teaching practices but it is not enough. Every day is more worrying to evaluate us ourselves. In my school, the College makes a self-assessment of teaching practice by term. Another one more by Department and this year I have included self-assessment in my digital portfolio.

# data[].attributes.body
For my opinion video recordings om my teaching practice will be better than taking notes.

But I actually always start with notes when, I produce my course materials (PowerPoints presentations etc). I have found out that I sometimes will be locked by the possibilities in the technology, if I just start my development in (for instance) PowerPoint.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment is done constantly, but it's not a daily dairy. In my opinion, only specific things should be registered, when you do feel that it might be of some use not only to you, but also people who may read it.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't take notes for self-assessment what I do is to think about my practices everyday: what I am going to do and what I have done but I do not record anything. It could be a great idea so that to check further on things that tend to be forgotten and can be improved later on.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately I rarely take notes specifically for self-assessment or reflection. I would dare to say it is a not so generalized practice in Portuguese teachers’ day life. However, that is changing because of a recent trend: articulating (or linking together with our peers). The problem stands on time. It is difficult to spare some time to do that. Usually Portuguese teachers are involved in so much projects and has so much work to do that becomes hard to cooperate. It’s a paradox. We also spend our precious time in transports and endless meetings in school. We lose too much time with bureaucracy. I hope I can develop more collaborative and reflecting work with my peers because I know I could take benefits from it: knowing me better, describing and setting my own starting levels and aim to realistic goals.

# data[].attributes.body
I also do not use notes to evaluate my teaching, but I think those must be very important when we want to implement systematic reflection towards the achievements, being these the target levels.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment is extremly important for teachers work so that we can improve our selves and so our lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
I useually do not take notes about my teaching practice but I do not finish the day without thinking and making judgements about the teaching practices of that day. I use extra materials apart from the coursebooks and I generally make self-assessment whether these materials work good for the objectives of the lessons or not. Sometimes, I need to improve the materials, sometimes I use that material during the term or academic year. I think most of the teachers do that in the Eurpe or in the world. However, what ı understand from the videos given in this module is that self-asessment process should start from the very beginning of your teaching practice or projects etc and it should be structured in a form or online tools. And finally, it should be interactive of course which allows other collegues to help you improve yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that self-assessment is very important for our professional development as teachers. I have never taken notes but I always reflect on my lessons and think of how it could have been better or which things I have to improve on myself so I can teach in a more efficient way.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment is very important for me, especially in chemistry lab teaching. Every year I write down my students' results during laboratory experiments and change my lessons' plans to get my methodology better. I'm sure that this course will allow me to better understand my own self-assessment; I hope it will have a positive impact in the planning of my daily work.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I need to improve many things, and when I think I am ok, I must try to improve my classes. So i think sel Assessment it is important so i can have an idea where I´m and where I can go.

# data[].attributes.body
I usually don't take notes about my practice, but I would never think about going to a class without my material and objectives well prepared. And, as I produce my own material most of the time, I come to change many things in the course of time according to how my pupils respond to the kind of approach I first chose.

I think that self-assessment would be very difficult for me as I can't really evaluate my own skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think it's a good idea to go at classes without previous documentation. It's all about self-esteem, how you, as a teacher, present yourself in front of your students. You have to be prepared, to be ready to answer their questions and this type of self-assessment is necessary and useful.

# data[].attributes.body
One more example of 'trying and achieving' in the assessment universe.  :)

# data[].attributes.body
Preparing for your lessons it is a "must do" thing. I never go in class next day without preparing may informations , my lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
Well I must say that I usually don´t take that kind of notes. But for developing your ideas and skills, it´s needed (again).

# data[].attributes.body
Through the years I have developed my teaching methods, but I never did a concrete evaluation of my own improvement. If I had done so, maybe it would be more clear to me, how I developed and what I did to get there.

I am not sure how to self-assess in a good way, but just writing down what I do and why I do it - is a start.

# data[].attributes.body
It's important to be documentation of the lessons for evaluating yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
Potential benefits o self assessment is to improve your practices and your competences; It's to disagree with the daily routine in order to look for innovation; it's to embraced new technologies taken as the lenguage of the new era. As I said in point 2.6, i do make some records with my students projects.

# data[].attributes.body
Monica's example is a good orientation. It outstands the need to collect information during the process so self-evaluation is accurate. Having a model to save that valuable information is really helpful. Moreover, it is also key to collect the students opinions and perceptions as part of the information

# data[].attributes.body
I use a lot of yellow sticker to remind me between classes what step to take next in order to meet every pupils. Other I write for next year to improve my self in my profession. I surf the internet a lot and I look a lot at my favorite bloggers to find out what is happening and ask myself if I´m getting behind in my skills. Now a days I find some app being used not the one i think will last.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is good to document your lessons, so you can always evaluate yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree totaly with Monica that self-assessment motivates to deepen knowledge of the way we teach and further more the way how we study. It is very important to have a subjective reference point,and  concrete examples to better understand and measure. I recomend also to give the studens assignment to make self-assessment as apart of the activity we asked them to do. Self-assessment is an important skill for life in every area.

# data[].attributes.body
It's hard to be objective when evaluating your competences. But daily observation of your lessons makes you experienced

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's very useful to take notes and reflect on your work let you improve your teachin

# data[].attributes.body
I never take notes...but since I create material for each lesson, I know which approaches don't seem to work with students. Probably it's a good practice to take notes and I'll have to try to pick up this good habit, because I think it makes you better organised to reflect on your work and improve when things don't work.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for tips, Monica. A few years I got used to take notes of what I was doing in class. They are a very useful resource and allows you to remember practices that work well or what you can improve on them. I agree that we need to prevent perspective errors and maintain the right distance.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning with Mooc allows to self-assess myself somehow.  It gives me tips and tools to works with.  This course gives me the opportunity to do self-assessment in a good way. Because I realise that I did reflections on my works but not as deeply as I thought.

# data[].attributes.body
I always take notes and document my lessons because that makes it easier to plan my next steps and I can always go back and see what went well and what didn't - then I can reflect and build on that. THis develops my teaching and is of great help for the children.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-assessment is very useful and necessary if you want to grow professionally. It helps to identify the areas of development and areas of strength.  Reflection on my professional growth over the last year enables me to prioritize some areas of development that are most important for my professional growth and will yield the best outcomes for my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I seldom take notes about my teaching practice but I think this is a good idea as you avoid to make mistakes twice and can repeat the positive experiences instead. I do have a good memory but it is definitely better if I write things in a file, so I can have again the "fresh first impression".

# data[].attributes.body
Monica stated that she underestimated her digital competences. Luckly she decided to embrace the project and could get more confidence, which is always a good feeling.

I don't usually take notes. I think that the next time I want to do something diferent.

# data[].attributes.body
As we can see, it is very useful to keep notes of your teaching, in order to have a global image of that and facilite the phase of assessmentt

# data[].attributes.body
A very interesting e-twinning project.

# data[].attributes.body
Monica points a very important aspect of self-assessment: the need to prevent perspective errors and maintain the right distance. We must keep not too close nor too far away from ourselves. That's challenging!

# data[].attributes.body
I'll try to make notes on the activities that worked. Thanks Monica for offered tips.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to think about the lesson you have just tought and see if you missed something or if you can improve it. It is not in my habit to take notes after a lesson, but perhaps it is a good idea.

# data[].attributes.body
I sometimes make notes on the activities that worked, but not regularly. I do agree that it is a useful practice. I started to make more digital based activities, which I keep for my future students. Though sometimes they are not up to date and I have to think something new to keep my students interested. Monica's idea that observation, reflection and organization of materials are basic principles in self assessment is so true.

So far, I have never used notes for teaching practices, but 'never say never', I guess I might give them a try.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a calendar taking notes of what went good or bad! At the end of the month I read it very carefully in order to self evaluate my teaching!

# data[].attributes.body
Very good example. Yes i take notes for my teaching practices. Sometimes in some classes if students have learning difficulties and if my lessons isn't enough. I take note for improving it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is a very good idea to keep notes for the teaching practices. I don't do it regularly but I will try in the future to have notes after each lesson. This will help us to improve those points in which we are not satisfied with the teaching results and to find new ways of improving our teaching by using ICT tools. Of course peer assessment will give us the necessary feedback in the points which perhaps we are not able to recognize them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that the potential benefits and challenges of being engaged in self-assessment as Monica mentions are: observation - reflection - organization of materials and report.

I usually take notes about my teaching practice. I take notes of a thought, a good idea, a lesson plan, not to forget to mention something important in the class. Taking notes help me to have a comprehensive lesson plan and enrich it.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion the potential benefits of being engaged in self-assessment are to improve the work and increase the benefits for pupils when using innovative ICT tools. I usually take notes and observe faces of the pupils, and the words I use when talk to them.

# data[].attributes.body
In fact, I have no time left to write down my teaching methods or activities every day but I use to study quite often pedagogical books and articles, I attend educational seminars and I try to participate in Conferences presenting proposals about innovative projects . During this procedure I thik that I have a good opportunity for self-assessment and reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
Always i keep notes on my lessons and so i became better and better

# data[].attributes.body
It is very important to be engaged in self-assessment, so I can say that it is an obligation.

# data[].attributes.body
Monica, thanks for your experience's sharing with us.

# data[].attributes.body
I always take notes of my lesson. Otherwise I may forget something. Thank you Monica

# data[].attributes.body
I always write notes of my teaching trying to review the work done. Many vole I miss the comparison with colleagues. Brava Monica!

# data[].attributes.body
I usually keep notes of my teaching. In this way I better organize the whole process , keep track of it and is a time-saving way to 'correct' or alter errors arising during collecting and managing evidence and recourses.

# data[].attributes.body
It is really reassuring to see colleagues working this way. I must admit I do not write down every piece of starting points, targets, degrees of achievement... but after several training courses about evaluation, self-assesment and peer-assessment, I am more and more confident in the items I want to target and objectively evaluate them I think.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't take notes, I will try!! In 2.3 Janet talked about formative assessment processes, and this method of taking notices is suitable for this purpose. As says Monica, "observation, reflection, organization of materials".

# data[].attributes.body
I know I should take notes in order to remember which activities work better with my students and avoid to make the same mistakes

# data[].attributes.body
I rarely take notes but I know it's important for self evaluation. In Portugal, some teachers have tasks that have to perform and sometimes lack the time for what's important ... seek to improve our practices.

# data[].attributes.body
I thank Monica for video and admire her work. Earlier I kept a blog where describes the tools that are used in their work. But for lack of time stopped taking notes. It is very important to note for the analysis of my work.

# data[].attributes.body
I rarely took notes about my teaching practice, but I did it last year and it was very helpful because I could then reflect on what I had planned and how it actually worked out. I also take notes of what I plan to do in the e-twinning projects we participate and what is actually being done. I think it helps us being more organised, focused and allows us to self reflect on a later stage on our work..

# data[].attributes.body
I never took notes. But I will try to do that in the future. I think it is a good idea.

# data[].attributes.body
And again - eTwinning project is a challange.

Being engaged in self assessment allows the teacher to measure his or her use of technology in the daily teaching practice. Based on that assessment, he/she can get a clear reflection of the digital level that should be developed by discussing it with your peer.

# data[].attributes.body
Taking notes is a practice I also follow.
