Reflection week two

How could you adapt or change one of your current class/course policies to reflect a moving mindset? Is this a change you are willing to make? Why or Why not?

I'm not currently in the classroom and I am stumped with this week's post. I do not understand the concept of "moving mindset." If it was in this week's materials then I missed it somehow.

I am looking to incorporate many new things into my class next year when I make the shift from being the librarian to being a language arts teacher. Unlike this week's article, I will not be doing away with homework. However, I will be making a point to only assign useful, relevant homework, and only when necessary.

Rubric Analysis


Overall I feel that I fell in the exceptional or effective part of the rubric for most areas except for the collaboration piece. I did not ask open ended or thought-provoking questions, nor any questions at all for that matter.

Specifically the qualities that fell into exceptional or effective were that in my post, I gave the example of the AASL standards which have been my personal experience, and in my feedback to a classmate with a different set of standards I cited specific ISTE standards that I felt were relevant to her current position.

I need to work on asking questions to further discussion.
