B ECOMING A REFLECTIVE TEACHER... Do you feel like a teacher? Does it make any difference to your students once you step into the classroom? Is the teacher I am the person I am? Do I believe in my teaching ideas? Am I satisfied with the teacher I am? Are my students satisfied with the teacher I am? Am I being the best teacher I can be? PINHEIRO, J. (2004) Self-observation: A teacher development approach. Glosas didácticas nº11.
