As Don and I were talking about RTI classes and how we are going to approach them this year, it struck me how easy it is to give suggestions about what to do in the classroom and how very difficult it is at times to implement the very same in my own classroom. This is what makes me respect those who are truly still practicing this very difficult profession and their opinions so much more than those who have been out of the classroom for any length of time and certainly more than those who have never stepped foot in the classroom.
I am hopeful that this could potentially be a space where we can share ideas that not only are tried and true in our classrooms but also those that work within our small community. A big push for me this year is going to be reflection. I will do some of that in this space, feel free to ignore my posts but I have committed to attempting to learn out loud more than I currently do.
I know some of you do a better job asking kids to reflect on what they have learned. I am wondering where you have them record this reflection? I am thinking I am going to move forward with a blog for the students. I have a kidblog account and am thinking of using that. Do any of you have experience with something else?
