Another visit

On my second and third visit I continued to see presentations by the students, which were great! Today was the last groups of students who needed to present. When all the students were done presenting, Maria asked them if they had liked doing the project, if so why, and if not why not. This was a way that Maria was getting some feedback from her students. She was showing them that they had a voice in the classroom and did not have to agree with everything that she does in the classroom. She noted to them that their feedback is important because it will help her improve the project and further make it more successful. The students gave her a number of positive comments and a few negative ones that showed her how she can improve the project in the future.

I am excited because I am seeing many of the practices that I have learned throughout my teacher preparation program being successfully applied in the classroom.
