The author reflects on their progress developing the 10 dispositions of a professional teacher. They feel they have mastered being reflective, receptive to feedback, and affirming of diversity, as they regularly question themselves to improve, accept feedback from others, and embrace cultural differences. However, the author notes they need to work on being more inclusive by adapting lesson plans to help all students, build self-efficacy by gaining confidence in their preparation, and strengthen their collaboration skills like assuming leadership roles.

All ten dispositions need to be developed in order to be a professional
teacher. I have worked on some of the ten dispositions and I think I am doing well in some of them and I really need to keep on working in the others. In my opinion I am doing very well in REFLECTIVE, because I am always questioning the things I did and I try to find the way to improve myself. I also think I am doing well in RECEPTIVE TO FEEDBACK because I like to know other people’s opinions and I try to improve the aspects they mention. The last one I think I am doing well, is AFFIRMING OF DIVERSITY, because as I am also going to The Newcomers School I have learned to be open minded to cultural differences and also I have learned ways to integrate the different cultures in the classroom and how to create a respectful atmosphere in the classroom. Now, I am going to talk about the ones I need to keep working on. For example I need to be more INCLUSIVE because I tend to stick too much to the lesson plan and it is hard for me to change it in order to help others students. I also need to work on SELF-EFFICACIOUS because sometimes I am insecure of my own preparation and I get nervous very easily. And the last one is COLLABORATIVE because I need to learn how to assume the leadership in some activities, I am a collaborative person if other person tells me what to do but it is hard for me to take the leadership of the situation.
