Inner Authority Continuum by Nicole

2025-09-24 23:50:57 UTC

I FALL HERE. (6 - 7)

2025-09-24 23:51:22 UTC

I would put myself at a 6. I feel like I lean more toward authority but I find myself being apologetic about it a lot also.

2025-09-24 23:52:08 UTC

i think i am at a 7 because i am not always confident in my 6th period

2025-09-24 23:52:13 UTC

I feel like I struggle with being firm and not sounding mean.

I would put myself around 6 to 7 because I end up being empathetic to my students. I would like to be at a 8 to 9 though.

In the middle. I feel guilty sometimes for being too harsh. I try to not let the kids knows but sometimes I’m a big softy.

I would say a 7. I hold high expectations but sometimes feel bad.

Fall at 6

2025-09-24 23:52:45 UTC

I’d like to be more authoritative but also struggle with empathy

I fall under a 6 but then as the day goes on and I start to feel tired I go down the scale.

I feel like I would be at a 7. I can be a little to tough sometimes and also a little to lenient sometimes. I would like to be a 9

2025-09-24 23:53:13 UTC

I put myself towards the middle because I feel like I let my students get away with too much.

2025-09-24 23:53:14 UTC

On a good day 7, but I feel it varies by class. Specifically those with the most energy and personalities.

2025-09-24 23:53:22 UTC

I would put myself at a 7 but sometimes think I am expecting too much? They are still kids... and that makes me feel guilty.

2025-09-24 23:53:24 UTC

About a 6. My 5th period is tough and they check out. This makes me question EVERYTHING!

I believe I fall around a 7. I'm typically good at holding my ground and moving on quickly but there are times when I empathize with the kiddos and want to understand where they're coming from.

2025-09-24 23:53:26 UTC

7, I think overall I have a good grasp of inner authority. However, at some points I think I allow too much pushback from students who have lots of energy and opinions.

2025-09-24 23:53:46 UTC

I also feel guilty on days when I'm very firm because I have such sweet kiddos. (7)

2025-09-24 23:53:47 UTC

2025-09-24 23:54:00 UTC

I think I would put myself at a 5 because it shifts based on how the students energy are higher.

2025-09-24 23:54:01 UTC

I would put myself at 8.

2025-09-24 23:54:05 UTC

Im somewhere in the middle and want to work towards feeling more confident in my authority. I definitely still feel guilty at times when i'm sticking firm with expectations. But i also feel better than i used to feel about it.

2025-09-24 23:54:07 UTC

I would put myself in a 8. I made seating charts for my 6th period and I am strict and not letting them sit where they want. Because they could not behave where they wanted to sit at first.
