Understanding Know Yourself

UNDERSTANDING: Know Yourself.
Increase self-awareness.
Know your strengths and weaknesses.
Develop critical thinking skills.

This principle refers to the ability to recognize one’s feelings, values, and emotions in the moment and their influence on behavior in different personal and academic situations. Self-awareness assesses one’s strengths and limitations to develop a healthy, well-grounded sense of self-confidence. Students who demonstrate understanding are reflective, articulate, resourceful, growth minded, curious, and inquisitive.
