# Mathematics Teaching Self-evaluation Tools

You are viewing a limited version of the NCETM’s self-evaluation tools. Any answers you save during this session will be removed after seven days. Log in or sign up to view, and use, the full version of the tools.
Here you can see a summary of the areas in which you are confident and those in which you are less confident; there are some ideas and suggestions which may help you in your professional learning.
