The 5th meeting of our group provided more oppurtunity to collaborate with the other teachers, and to share the highs and lows of each of our individual efforts. So much of what we do is "variable dependent", meaning that on any given day, the plans could be successful, or not, often depending on things as obtuse as the weather, the time of day, or the moods of each student. I value the input that I get from others, especially when I hear of their attempts to incorporate new stategies, and the road blocks that they encounter. It validates my own challenges in the classroom. On another note, I found it interesting to review the learning theories and to try to place my own strategies within one or more of the formal frameworks. After this session, I found myself excited to jump in and try another lesson using thge SCIM stategy, and I will be eager to report my outcomes to the group.
