It is mid December and to most people that means the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations. Last minute shopping, wrapping presents, holiday baking, and planning family get-togethers. Those things will not even make my radar until after Thursday of this week. That is when I will be done with another semester of classes as I work towards my master's degree. Our final for Selection and integration is a culmination of all the work we have done this semester. We looked at 21st Century Skills, UDL, GRR, TIM, and some other TLAs (Three Letter Acronym). Our project is to create a unit lesson that incorporates all of these strategies. This is a little hard for me to think in terms of units and lessons as I have been removed from the classroom for so long. While I plan teacher inservices and do some lessons with students, it is not the same as when I did that every day. I am amazed at how fast I have gotten out of that mode. Linked to this post is the Google Doc that I have created for this assignment. I felt that this was the best way to complete this task, as it required quite a bit of writing and that would be a bit much to post on my blog.
As of 2:15 pm on this fine day of December 15, 2011, I have completed my final assignment for Selection and Integration. It feels good to get it done, but I am now ready for a nap. Oh yeah ... one more semester to go.
Won't it be wonderful when we call you Master Lance?
