Future Aims / Intentions

State your belief.

Say how some things that you

do are connected to that
belief.

Give some examples of things

you do that seem not to come
from the belief or which seem
to contradict what you
believe.

Suggest some ways to move

forward.

"I think it's very important to

create a supportive atmosphere in
class.
"One of the ways I do that is by
trying to pay close attention
when students are speaking in
class and really listen to what
they say.

"However, I find I still get

impatient when students don't
answer my questions quickly and
I know that this upsets some of
them.

"I will ask a colleague to observe

one of my lessons and tell me
what she notices" or "I will read a
book on the subject".
