There are several ways to know how you are doing professionally including self-reflection, feedback, evaluation, and assessment. Self-reflection involves improving practice by comparing theory to actions taken. Feedback provides opinions from students on learning experiences. Evaluation judges the effectiveness of programs and approaches. Assessment gathers information about individual or group learning. Research provides new understanding by conducting detailed studies of subjects.
