How would you describe yourself as a teacher (now or in the future), taking into account possible strengths and areas for growth?
If I summed it up into a single word I would say:

Pragmatist
I try to do the best that I can in the current situation. Sometimes that means a lot more that other teachers when my standards are higher. Sometimes less when I don't have enough time or when things go wrong (I teach Computing. Things often go wrong. I usually have a backup plan)

I try to do a lot of things:

I try to make my lessons as real and relevant as possible.
I try to explain why we are doing things and what this leads to (I have industry experience so I know why).
I try to be cutting edge with technology.
I try to make lesson fun and engaging.
I try to help my students get the highest grades possible.
I try to respect and listen to my students.
