Looking Across Your Postings

Dear Abby, Courtney and Erin,
I see a prominent theme of community across your three postings and it seems that being inclusive of a variety of learners is also important to all of you. It's great to see that you have concrete goals for your classroom. As the semester progresses I would like to see you bring more of the readings into your discussion so that you are specifically considering the ideas and suggestions given. Do the seem plausible? feasible? Do they seem like the types of ideas you would want to implement and are they consistent with your own goals? The same will be true as you spend more time in your classroom--where, when, how are you seeing ideas we read about enacted in your classroom, and if not, do you have ideas about how they could be? Making connections like this will deepen your understanding of the readings and help you apply them to 'real life'. Cheryl
