Self-Assessment of NBPTS
Directions: For each element, rate yourself in one of the following three categories. Then provide examples of your experiences in the
area of the NBPTS. Finally, identify areas within each domain where you are interested in growing. On the last page, summarize your
strengths and areas of possible growth. Boxes will expand as needed.
 Exploring/Emerging (E/E) - a level of practice in which the teacher relies on ongoing assistance from more experienced colleagues for
support, guidance, and survival. The teacher is moving toward becoming more self-directed and independent in her/his practice.
 Applying (A) - a level of practice in which the teacher is able to provide independent instruction and easily applies what s/he has
learned about educational practice.
 Integrating/Innovating (I/I) - a level of development in which the teacher is fully skilled and confident. The Integrating/Innovating
teacher is contributing to the broader educational community through staff development, research, or publication in professional
journals.

1. Teachers Recognize Individual Differences in Their Students and Adjust Their Practice Accordingly

students.
5. Teachers Appreciate How Knowledge in Their Subjects is Created, Organized, and Linked to Other
Disciplines
6. Teachers Command Specialized Knowledge of How to Convey a Subject to Students
7. Teachers Generate Multiple Paths to Knowledge
 Since teaching is a second career for me, I have
developed a good understanding on how to link
mathematics to other disciplines and to real-life
situations.
 I often demonstrate a few strategies when solving
a math problem. I ask students to share the I would like to improve in teaching foundational

 I teach my students mathematics using the 8
mathematical practices. I also encourage them to
develop a growth mindest and to collaborate with
their classmates.

Summary of Strengths and Areas of Possible Growth

One of my strength is understanding where students are struggling and where they are excelling. This helps me address
their needs more effectively. I credit my years of one-on-one tutoring in developing this strength. I also feel strong in
engaging students in and outside the classroom. My principal recently called me "a kid magnet." Lastly, I feel very
confident in my mathematical knowledge and multiple ways of demonstrating pathways to a solution.
I would like to improve collaborating with families to better understand my students' needs. I would also like to have
better administration support with students who miss class frequently or are often tardy. I can call one parent so many
times about tardiness.
