The questions just keep getting tougher, don't they? This one is tough because there are many areas to improve in - not that I'm doing a bad job - but you can always keep learning and honing your teaching craft.
I find that it takes me a couple times (ok, more than a couple of times) to do something to really 'get it' and execute it well. It really can be anything - a change in classroom management practice, grading rubric, lesson planning and execution, or conferencing with parents through phone or email. Honestly, I would like to shorten that learning curve. I think in order to do that, several things must happen:
1. Continue to be proactive in planning...anticipate as many bumps in the road and how to overcome those
2. Ask more questions of colleagues in how they would handle/plan/anticipate situations and scenarios...use the multitude of experience around me. (I think it is in this area alone, I could improve the most!)
3. Reflect, reflect, reflect and document, document, document.
4. Rinse and repeat.
