Reflection

OHI

I think, as a group, Marisa and Kaylee are wonderful, and it was a pleasure to work with them. They are both rich in knowledge and experience.  Kaylee, I felt took a lead role, as there was some scheduling (we tried to meet in the Manwaring Center, but Rec. Dept. had scheduled an activity in that location of the Crossroads and we were unable to find each other.  They collaborated together and I joined via email and other power point/research contributions, I was our statistician.

We had the common goal that we did not want it to just be a PowerPoint presentation, but to try to have a UDL environment, trying to present in many different formats/ways (I know that it wasn’t 5) or to just engage and involve the class as much as possible.  I felt that our intentions and efforts were in the right place, but I don’t think we set a proper classroom expectation.  I learned, and thought I knew, about UDL from AT, last Winter, but I realized that scaffolding is not my strong point (I think empathy is).

I really don’t know if I am second guessing myself, but I felt comfortable that we had done a both a good job and our best until I realized that I may have lead the class astray with my comments (and response to)  “death education”. (It was written in all caps in RED, and I unfortunately feeling it was a Halloween joke, responded inappropriately).  I regret that, but I feel that I have let the class down after we needed to spend the last few precious minutes of class bringing us back around.   I felt that I wasted your time, that I do not take lightly, and only wish to resolve and to correct. 

Group 8-10 (based on reflection above); Self-3 (I don’t think I should have let them astray, even in ignorance, I should have referred back to you as the teacher for reference.  I didn’t think I was guessing, but I feel that I should have been more familiar with that information (instead of so many stats or tangent examples).
