What is it?
What is it?
The abilities to understand one’s own emotions, thoughts, and values and how they influence behavior across contexts. This includes capacities to recognize one’s strengths and limitations with a well-grounded sense of confidence and purpose. Such as:
• Integrating personal and social identities
• Identifying personal, cultural, and linguistic assets
• Identifying one’s emotions
• Demonstrating honesty and integrity
• Linking feelings, values, and thoughts
• Examining prejudices and biases
• Experiencing self-efficacy
• Having a growth mindset
• Developing interests and a sense of purpose
Self-Awareness has meaningful consequences that can impact relationships and day-to-day well-being. If students can’t label their feelings it is very frustrating and every student has a different level of emotional self-awareness.
What we can say
What we can say
What we say in response to student statements is important as we try to help them become more self-aware.
What they say: Teacher Response:
"I can't do it." "You can't do it yet! We can work on it together!"
"This is too hard." "Who do you think could help you with this?"
"I didn't do this very well" "What do you think you could have done better?"
"I don't feel well" "Is your stomach (or head, etc.) really bothering you, or could it be something else?"
