One of my ongoing goals as a teacher is to continue to learn and grow so I can best meet all the needs of all my students. The reason I decided to take this masters program on is that it provided an opportunity and pathway to do just that. With clarity being such a high effect size for student growth (Hattie), I wondered how I could leverage the digital world that is so innate to our students. I want to move from using technology from a teaching and learning tool, used to manage the class and digitalizing assignments, to have more meaning and purpose to the whole learning process. Being able to bounce Ideas off each other, honest feedback and criticism, and a good reality check is what I hope from fellow cohort members in completing my capstone. I hope to tap into all the experience and expertise of everyone, both teaching practices, and technology skills. I hope my new cohort knows that I will do the same. I think being new to the group is an advantage as it is that many more ideas and perspectives It didn't take long into the 1st class for me to realize the positive cohesion and support structure in cohort 15 was already established. It is essential that we are there to support each other as this can often be a struggle and a grind. I hope to be able to support others in whatever it may be at the time. As far as group Norms go, the important ones to me are have a sense of humor and understanding.
