After all of this life changing learning I experienced in Germany, here are the following changes I plan to make moving forward as both a teacher and a mother:
1. My students will be writing responses far more -- open ended, original thoughts. 2. At the end of each year, my students will be working on their public speaking skills by presenting to parents, family, and friends on their learning. We'll be starting some type of showcase. 3. I will be teaching my students and my children about more worldly career options instead of only what they see in Livingston County. I will start with diplomat jobs and other worldly endeavors. 4. My students and children are all going to start learning foreign languages. While I do not see them often enough for mastery of the languages, we can still gain basic understandings of each as well as struggle through new, hard items, which is great for a gifted population. 5. Because I am the PDC co-chair and an instructional coach, I will bring this higher expectation instructional method back to my local colleagues. I will communicate with them regarding the more open-ended response type, less worksheets, more discussion with teachers and performances, etc.
