I have enjoyed my week learning from so many wonderful educators. There insight was inspirational. I am amazed at the tasks that are ahead of them. With our new knowledge, we can transform the world.
I enjoyed putting my thoughts together for the final presentations. In itself it was a transformational experience that I even had with my husband. My learning and "story" have evolved and I feel better about my path in education. I have a lot of opportunities that await me and I look forward to the journey.
I believe in the POWER of a story. We all have stories that have shaped us. We don't spend time sharing our stories. I truly believe that we can shape and change our world and community by understanding each of other's stories.

- Mastery---students want to feel like they have mastered something (video game, art, dance, baseball, etc)

Ask yourself when preparing a lesson
Am I offering students any autonomy?
Does this assignment promote mastery in an engaging way?
Do my students understand the purpose of the assignment?
