----Support from my colleagues ---



During this course I have come in contact with many kind and friendly colleagues, that are eager and pumped up about changing children's lives and educational experiences. Those mild-stones in each child's life could range in many areas- such as educational development, economical status or social and emotional development. I have enjoyed the feedback and support of my colleagues during discussion assignments and blog assignments. The helpful advice during the course and feedback made me feel like an important advocate for families and children.

I will share my email contact information ---- keep in touch--- iriscarter55@gmail.com.

Adjourning Phase


 

I think that hardest performing groups are always hardiest to leave. I had a group that I was a part of and I felt like we couldn't be stopped. One day a team member came to a meeting and said they were leaving all of us were very disappointed. We had her a farewell party and we discussed (old times) while working together. I think that moving to another state leaving all my friends and starting all over was miserable. I had a hard time leaving my job teaching Head Start.  In most cases we do a farewell gathering filled with gifts while enjoying food and music during the celebration. Getting to know a person in the class is very important by paying attention to their discussion questions and understanding their beliefs and values. I think after this journey is over I will feel more excited about the farewells and good-byes. I know that we are all seeking a different level of educational experience. I believe we all have formed some type of teamwork, from the uplifting discussion questions, blog assignments and more. We all are able to speak to each other and understand each others circumstances and issues. Little did we know we have a lot in common. I will definitely miss the responses and feedback from this program and all the people that made this learning experience unforgettable.
