That sounds so powerful to be able to receive a hand written note. I loved that you excluded the technology assistance. The old fashion hand writing is a lovely touch to your project.

What do you think your further challenges will be for them?

Do you think this changed your class dynamics?

Did the class grow together more?

Who did majority of the students send their 'gifts' to?

It's wonderful to hear that you and student teacher were wonderful team together! You both supported each other in your teaching journeys. Sounds like you both had a wonderful partnership.

Thank you for taking a student teacher on.  It is admirable that you have taken a student teacher on even in a pandemic... Thank you.

You have a great Growth Mindset and it shows throughout your time in your studies.

It was evident that you are growing in your Growth Mindset.  Your willingness to learn more about TEAMs and embedding it more in your class.

You have been delving in Office 365 from TEAMs to SWAY.  Good for you in exploring different platforms (I like Canva better, too!)

I appreciate your thoughtful reflection on Calder's workshop. Not taking the first or the last fruits of the forest. He was profound in his artwork and his advocacy.

I'm always so inspired by your presentations and the honesty and learning that you are experiencing with your students - you're inspiring for us too.

Thank you for your honesty about your 'lacking of connection' and how you are reflecting on your own journey.

The Roadmap is so unpredictable yet you have been able to see how your committee on Proficiency and the conversations that are stemming from it.

What stuff are you doing with your Grade 9?  What things in Leadership will you be doing?Your awareness that you need to have an outlet for your 'creativity' and your community is lucky to have you!

Michelle,
Your gift giving project was so heart warming and inspiring. I am sure your students will remember this project and how it made them feel for years. Well done for encouraging the hand written notes - the lost art form. Love how you have embraced technology despite the struggles. Your journey has been focussed on providing opportunities for your students to feed their souls, which is, I think, a rare treasure in high school. Thank you for sharing, :) Nicola

Olivia,
As always you impress us with your willingness to try something new and challenging. Your mind map was so cool and I love the collaborative aspect of it. This is a great tool for student teachers to learn to use for themselves and with students if you continue to host them. Its so great that you enjoyed working with your student teacher. They really make you think about how your actions align with your teaching  philosophies.  Glad you are pursuing your Masters!
Nicola :)

Chad,
I'm glad you are finally beginning to see the connections in your journey! It's only when we look back can we see the changes we have made and how significant they are. I love your story telling ideas and I think they will deeply benefit your students if they can get past their own issues to be vulnerable. Your students are so lucky they have such a passionate, caring and creative teacher. Thank you for sharing your stories with us.

Sharon,
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I enjoyed your honesty about your struggles with technology but admire your persistence to stick with it. Your Sway turned  out great and I can't tell you had any issues! As always, your reflections were deeply personal and thoughtful. I appreciate the lengths you have gone to to  improve your teaching practice to benefit your students. Modelling for them is a great way to show you are learning along with them. I'm sure it makes your students more comfortable in taking risks and becoming independent learners. Great job.

Martha,
I'm always amazed at your ability to just go with whatever they throw at you! Did I hear you right when you said you had taught 34 different classes? That's crazy and knowing that you put 100% into all of them for your students is inspiring. You are so modest about your achievements too! People can learn so much from you and your vast experiences. I love how you said you were feeling the need to be creative this quarter as your current classes aren't allowing you to be the MAKER TEACHER you want to be!  Your students are lucky that you are so committed to modelling success. Nicola

Brian,
Wow, so much learning and reflecting you have done! It's amazing when you look back isn't it? Thank you for sharing your reflections with us. It is inspiring to see all of the positive changes you have made to your practice. Your students are really benefitting from your efforts. Love that you decided to take on a student teacher! You have lots of great ideas to share with them. The strategies that you use to allow your students to learn through the process will work for your student teacher, too. Letting them learn from the process will also make you a stronger mentor.
Great job!
Nicola
