We are constantly changing ourselves and our contexts. This kind of transformation of existing issues and questions into new ones can help your ideas and practices as ongoing cycles of action and reflection.” 242 Characteristics of a Good Research Question

Reminds me of a comment I left on a different quote from another reading a few weeks ago. This is a good reminder of how I am not working towards one final answer, one perfect method of teaching (in teaching or in my action research). A solid teaching practice is a lifetime of inquiry and the constant seeking of ways to improve]]> 2021-10-16 19:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821382061 hannahstitt1 https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821382717 “As they examine and discuss the relevance of the variables to their work, teacher
researchers begin to develop a deeper appreciation of how complex teaching and learning are and a much richer understanding of how contextually circumscribed the classroom is. They also begin to realize that there are many factors over which they have no control in
their teaching and in their research; to frame a manageable question, they must focus on those variables they can control.” 243


helpful reminder of how complex teaching and learning are. there are so many different variables playing into a particular lesson in a certain classroom on any given day. just focus on what I can control, which is giving really high quality instruction/facilitation

I've done every assignment except for one week of reading preparation (I think week 6 or 7?). I did the readings for that week, I just forgot to write up my text notes on them and didn't think it would be the best use of my time after the fact. I've managed to keep up pretty decent time management for this class and I'm happy I'm still on top of things. ]]> 2021-10-16 19:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821387480 I've met with my site team regularly, even outside of class hannahstitt1 https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821387866 I've attended every site team meeting we've had outside of class and I've stayed the whole time. I'm very active and engaged in our discussions + planning, but also step back as needed. I've been prepared for our meetings both in class and out of class. ]]> 2021-10-16 19:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821387866 I'm pulling my weight with our student interview process hannahstitt1 https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821390563 I've stayed extra hours at school site to interview students for the classroom part of our community asset map. We still have a lot of students to interview, and the student interview data likely won't appear on the version we turn in Sunday, but we will still use it for ourselves beyond that assignment's due date. ]]> 2021-10-16 19:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821390563 My role in community asset mapping hannahstitt1 https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821394530 I took pictures of the UC Berkeley fifth grade classroom and organized a group Google Drive to collect all of our images. I also took photos at Acta Non Verba and around Acorn Woodlands' campus. I took a ton of pictures at the 81st avenue library, of the library itself and of all the different resources available within it (community resource binder, various pamphlets, etc). I took notes while we spoke to the librarian at the 81st avenue library and with the folks at Acta Non Verba.  I put together the Google Map of nearby resources to Acorn. I helped organize the slides for the UC Berkeley classroom and Acta Non Verba.  I had the idea to map our fifth grade students' skills as a part of the classroom level of the map and helped come up with some of the interview questions. I've also helped with the student interview process. 

During our presentation, I presented the slides on UC Berkeley's classroom and Acorn Woodland's community values. 

Overall, I think I did a good job on this project and that I pulled my weight within the group. I think I could've stepped up a bit more during some of the final stages, when we were situating the actual map on Google Slides, but besides that, I think I worked to the best of ability. ]]> 2021-10-16 20:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821394530 I could engage/involve my CT and other Acorn Woodland staff in our work for this class more hannahstitt1 https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821396116 This is something I am trying to work on more. It feels like me and my CT often run out of time to talk about this project and our ideas because new school site stuff will come up or we'll focus on planning ahead. ]]> 2021-10-16 20:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821396116 Reflections on this assignment hannahstitt1 https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821398252 I really enjoyed this assignment, I thought it was really useful and relevant.  This is a practice that I want to continue in whichever schools I end up working in in the future.

I wish we would have had more time between peer review and final product. Seeing my classmates' work made me want to edit our map ~a lot~. I think our map could be a more accessible and flexible format (like a padlet) and could include more demographic information, a history section, and embedded links to resources. I think if we had an extra week between peer review and final submission, our map could have been taken up another level. ]]> 2021-10-16 20:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821398252 I could reflect more on the readings in my text notes hannahstitt1 https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821398945 During the first few weeks, I added comments to quotes on my text notes with short reflections. I didn't really do that at all during weeks 5-8. I think I should get back into that practice as much as time allows, as it would provide me a deeper level of engagement with the text. ]]> 2021-10-16 20:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahstitt1/q1fyqlg2zy475zn3/wish/1821398945
