well, it was a reflection after a chapter reading from the a textbook called Principal as instructional leader…. the concept of Communities of Practice made sense, but describing examples of the learning intersection in the K-12 educ. setting was a bit abstract considering the chapter in the text didn’t really describe a clear definition. we hadn’t discussed it in class yet either. it was one of those, I think I know what they are talking about, but I’m not 100% sure moments. I ended up making sense of it and came up with three examples. it was a decent final product. It will be turned in tomorrow evening. I love to reflect and write my reflections for the sake of personal reflection. the research and theory part is something that I’m getting used to. I’ve just begun a few weeks ago, I’m definitely getting in the grove. the first few assignments are always a bit difficult as one is never sure the product is what the prof. wants. This is the first class I’ve taken where I’ve actually lost points on a reflective piece if it didn’t quote research and theory. It’s not supposed to be easy! 🙂 I am learning more than I ever have before!
