Refresher(s)0
I found last Wednesday’s class to be a refreshing return to the types of conversations that we enjoyed during May-mester. We need to continue to have these conversations, not just in Culture, Community and Schools, but in all of our courses because these conversations uncover and remind us of the reasons we decided to become teachers in the first place. Additionally, I think that these discussions will ease some of the frustrations we encounter in our student-teaching placements.
We need to be reminded, constantly, of the fact that we have the will and power to make educational reform more than just another “what if…” conversation by transforming our ideas into reality. We owe it to ourselves, our predecessors and, most importantly, to our students.
