Setting Up Identity - Reflection Day 1

  The idea of intentional creation of student identity was modeled well today as we started our own Identity Wheels.  I think that facilitating lessons around helping students be able to express their identity is key, especially as I work on expressing my own identity as  a new member of this 5/6 Team.  Variations on an Identity Wheel and integrating it with Team wide literature groups around developing and expressing identity is a way we have talked about starting the year.  I am personally thinking about creating my action research around increasing student engagement in their PLPs by giving them more creative choice in what they post and how they post it.  This focus on engaging students authentically is how I identify as a practioner!
