Growth (What I’m seeing happen)
For Me:
·
No longer in
total control of the learning process (facilitator instead of dictator)
·
Challenging my
knowledge in my subject areas
·
Thinking outside
the box to connect with more students
For My Classroom:
·
Students are on
the path to thinking through a problem
·
They're able to
justify answers and explain incorrect solution pathways
·
Homework is
"easier" so they tend to do it more consistently
·
Students are
retaining skill sets that are used in multiple subject areas
