October 8, 2009
As I have posted before, I have recently began to have a real sense of overwhelmingness about the career I have chosen. There is so much that I am responsible for and so much that I need to do. Despite my feeling, I know also that this is what I need to do as a career. I can and want to respect and listen to my students and show them I care by creating meaningful relationships. I can create an environment in which all students feel encouraged and supported by caring about my students' lives and culturesoutside the calssroom. I feel that although we really are never in charge of our classrooms, we can be in charge of and control what we provide for our students. By staying true to the hallmarks, we can provide great oppportunities for learning and be able to do what we really need to do: reach our students.

Lori... I understand what you're saying. Is there any way you would go back to chapter 7 and find some of Carol's words that give you hopw about what you want to create and do as a teacher? I'm hoping to see just a bit more connection to the reading. I'll give you 2 points now, and 2 more points if you'll take the time to find something Carol said that fits with what you're been feeling. Thanks! 2 points.
