Balancing Feedback with Self-Evaluation

While feedback from others is valuable, self-evaluation is equally important in the professional development journey.

Balancing external feedback with self-evaluation enables educators to gain a comprehensive view of their teaching effectiveness and areas for enhancement. ITTT's courses emphasize the importance of self-assessment in conjunction with external feedback for professional growth.
