5. According to StrengthsFinder 2.0evaluation, by Tim Rath, my
strengths are: Restorative Relator Achiever Responsibility
Deliberative 6. Anyone with the restorative strength aregenerally
adept at dealing with problems.Also they good at figuring out what
iswrong and come up with ways on how tosolve the problem. 7. With
this strength I am able to overcomeany problem that may arise
within theclassroom.Ex: Students were talking during a lessonand
would not stop. I stopped everything Iwas doing and just stood in
the front of theclassroom. Students knew why I stoppedand students
were trying to get the class toquiet down themselves. 8. Anyone
with the relator strength tend tohave close relationships with
others andhave a real sense of satisfaction in workingwith others
and achieving goals. 9. I am able to use this strength within
theschool by forming close bonds with theother teachers and
students. We feelcomfortable around each other where wecan go to
each other if any problems arise.Ex: Working with my colleagues to
furtherstudents progress. Coming up withsolutions if problems
arise. 10. Generally, people who are considered tobe an achiever
are hard working and takegreat satisfaction from being busy
andproductive.They also have a great deal of stamina. 11. As an
achiever I tend to always be workingand want to do the best that I
can. I alwaysstrive to be the best that I can and want to dothe
best job I can for my students. I am constantly going over lesson
plans tofind ways that I can change them so that theywill be most
beneficial to the students. I dontstop when a lesson plan is
finished and Ialways look to see what can be changed. 12. People
who share the responsibilitystrength tend own up to what they say
thatthey will do.They are committed to values such ashonesty and
loyalty. 13. I am able to show responsibility during my
lessonsbecause I always put up an aim that I want thestudents to
know by the end of the period. I tell myselfthat I will make the
material easy for the students tograsp and want to do this to the
best of my ability. I consider myself to be honest with my students
bytelling them what they want to know and what is on mymind at
points which they seem to appreciate. I can considered to be loyal
to my students because Iwant to always look out for them and be
there for them.Even if it is not in the classroom I want to help
them tothe best of my abilities and tell the students just that.
14. To be deliberative one must be describedby the serious care
that they take whenmaking decisions or choices.These types of
people are able toanticipate obstacles that may arise. 15. When
making lesson plans I try toanticipate where confusion might arise.
Iwrite down some questions that mightcome up from the students and
try to findappropriate answers to these questions.Able to come up
with different ways tosolve math equations and pick what I thinkis
best and easiest for the students. 16. Strengths can support myself
as a teachermentor by: Resolving problems between teacher candidate
