Update Article & Email

I was not able to obtain the missing pages from "Visiting and Revisiting". I will continue to work on it, but for now just hold off on that particular article. Also, it appears my email is wrong on the top of the syllabus. It should read:

clovato1@gmcs.k12.nm.us


Thanks all...see you Tuesday!

Fall 2014

Welcome to your capstone year (Fall 2014 into Spring 2015)

 A reflective and introspective journey designed to encourage you to look more closely at yourself as a teacher and learner in your classroom with your students. This is a liberating time for you to think independently, reflexively, and creatively.

"Critical reflection is matter of stance and dance. Our stance is one of inquiry. We see it as a constant formation and always needing further investigation. Our dance is the dance of experimentation and risk" (Brookfield, 1995, p. 42 as cited in Allen, 2009, A Sense of Belonging, p. 20).

Please mark your calendar for Friday, November 7, 2014 from 9:00am-3:30pm. You will be sharing your Oral Inquiry Proposal Presentation at the main campus to your committee members. Please arrange your leave with your school principal early on.
