In reviewing the Professional Dispositions of Learners, I believe that I have the most opportunity for growth in the area of commitment to students. I am always striving to improve my teaching, but I know that I can do more to ensure that my students are learning and growing. I can do this by being more intentional about my planning and instruction, and by providing more feedback to my students. I can also do more to build relationships with my students and to get to know them as individuals.

I believe that it is important for teachers to be committed to their students because they are the ones who are ultimately responsible for their education. By being committed to our students, we can help them to reach their full potential and to become productive members of society.
