Typing up a storm...

The focus of the last few weeks has been on pulling the final pieces together:

1. Completing my DSIL (my husband, who is a web developer, teasing and encouraging me as I navigated my way through the very basics on Google Sites).
2. Gathering the final bits of data for my Action Research Paper and working on multiple drafts...
3. Work related - scheduling my final IEP meetings of the year and burning the midnight oil to get my paperwork completed.

In sum, I have been typing up a storm!

There is so much to feel positive and excited about with the culmination of these last few projects - the end of the school year is approaching, graduation day will soon be here, and my brain will have time to rest and reflect on all that its been exposed to after a long year of work.

I am looking forward to the break but am also investigating new opportunities that will keep me active and focused. As much as I enjoy rest, I also become apprehensive about not being incredibly busy - always looking for a way to add wrinkles to my brain!

EDUC 693 - Student Feedback

I rack my brain, read, and research to find strategies, lessons, and activities that might support my students in accessing the content and genuinely engaging in learning. The simplest strategy sometimes escapes - ask the kids what works. This week's post is a nod to this simple idea.

Find below excerpts from my case study students as they reflect on cooperative learning during a writing activity in my pullout class:
