Goal 9
The development of the ability to blend theory and practice in well-organized ways:
One area that I am still developing is creating opportunities that access and engage students' ability to think and learn through their minds, bodies, and hearts. I feel that I am able to engage their minds, but am not able to engage students through their bodies or hearts. I have observed other teachers engaging students through their bodies and minds using SMART learning, and Challenge Based Learning. I plan to learn more about both of these methods and practice incorporating them into my curriculum by paying explicit attention to them while writing future lesson plans until they become more second nature to me.
