This research examines the impact of teachers' self-evaluation on their classroom interactions with students. Changes in class behavior were analyzed by following two experienced middle school teachers for one semester of self-evaluation, comparing their classes at the beginning and end of the semester. A qualitative research method was adopted to take, a deeper look at the effect of changes in the teachers' in class actions. Both of the teachers reported positive effects of implementing self-evaluation on their teaching pedagogy, focusing specifically on their interactions with students when asking question and giving feedback. By the end of semester, they were asking broader questions that encouraged their students to engage in deeper thought and, when giving feedback, the class atmosphere was much brighter with better communication due to the positive reinforcement provided. This research supports research into ways to enhance teachers' expertise and improve their teaching via self-evaluation, centering on teachers' actions in the classroom.
