It was very humbling this week. I felt that we had well prepared in our group to discuss Other Health Impairments (IDEA) as well as how they impact us as teachers/ECSC, but, like in the talk that discusses our "4 Seconds" (comparing our life to preparation of an olympian), the unexpected sometimes happens upon us and we can either choose to be victims or to rise above it (as our fellow saint in the skeleton event during last Winter Olympic Games).
I really enjoyed the Case Study for Assessments. It was one I really needed. It was an area that I thought I understood, but our class discussion, I feel, really broadened both the depth of my understanding of the topic and brought new ideas of problem solving (where one saw "a perfect teacher" another saw only "informal assessments." Perspective is a powerful thing. I think that is why it is so important that we work together as teams within our education experience. We can bring light into a subject or a hue that is not expected which can both enrich and educate. It's not just to teach but to experience and have them discover the joy of learning.
