End of the Year Survey Results...
***Note: On many computers, the graphics will not show up. I am working on this, and apologize for the inconvenience!
Reflection is a big part of teaching AND learning. Everyone on the planet whether they are 4 or 104 has something that they can wake up each day and learn. One important lesson that I hope I have given you this year is that it is ok to make mistakes. As humans we are far from perfect. We will make mistakes. We can't avoid it. What we can do is look at our mistakes, analyze the series of events that brought us an unfavorable outcome and work hard to have a positive turn around, or a beneficial outcome the next time around. The end of the school year provides a ripe time for reflection; both for students and their teachers. I greatly appreciate the honesty that went in to the comments that I received on the end of the year surveys in both Core and Reading class. As I design my Core and Reading classes next year, I will keep these comments with me.
Below you can see some of the results. I thank each and every student that participated in these surveys, with your help I can move our class in a positive direction. I will be adding some of the written comments a little later...
What units of study did you like BEST?
