5. Small Group / Whole Group
I think the whole group discussions are the most valuable.
We could do more small group work and less whole group discussions.
Whole class discussions seem to be helpful at times and at other times dominated by only a few people.
The different small group breakouts that we do in class are so incredibly useful, especially when they relate to our practicum sites and future work as leaders.
Small group discussions sometimes work, except when you are in a group where not everyone has done the reading - then, the work can be less meaningful.
I am hoping that we will get more small group time to begin delving deeper into these topics and issues that will affect our work in schools in the future.
I enjoy the small group work task assigned in class.

6. Learning Targets

Is this good for all students? Why or why not?
How do the readings inform your view?
How does your experience (past and practicum) inform your view?
Keep track of questions.

So what are the implications for classroom observations? …for what you expect to see in the task?
