building an “i love me file”: creating a personal “safe space” (while gathering evidence of professional excellence at the same time) - teaching commons

this session presents the rationale and strategies for building an “i love me file” or a “refuge file” of positive (self)reinforcement through the gathering and curating of positive feedback artifacts, reflection pieces, concrete examples of your successes in the classroom, with your 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , in your career, and in your professional life, etc.

these resources – and this file – can become an emotional sanctuary to revisit after a bad class, a rude comment, a failed classroom experiment, or other professional setback that can’t help but feel personal and cut deep, especially when a highly invested instructor is tired and over-stretched. these stored artifacts can not only boost your morale and remind you of your excellence, but they can also contribute in practical ways – and greatly simplify – the process of assembling or updating your dossier for ptr, your files for awards, etc.
