Thanks to some supportive conversations with several MGI staff from my Team I am feeling more competent about designing my Action Research. Through the workshops today on my strand I got another dose of the importance of giving students choice and personalized paths, and that should fit in nicely with my idea of bringing that to the PLP process. Students are not liking them, and I am wondering if they would more if they had more say in what gets posted and how evidence is documented. I think that is connected to competency...not liking something does not tend to make one feel competent at it.
I am impressed with how my Team works together. I have known them as building colleagues for years, but only started working with them in the last week. They/we set goals well and share the workload to get things accomplished. They listen to me and are patient with my newness to this particular job. I think that listening is key to building competence in students. Listen to their ideas, concerns, fears and successes.
