In-Depth Information
I want my students to learn basic skills. That is, I want them to
learn the basic skills necessary to transform their world. I want
my students to have opportunities to develop voice, engage in
dialogue, take action and learn to reflect on their actions. And,
because I want my students to engage themselves in their world
differently, I know that teaching and learning has to look
different too.
She also includes a teacher reflection about student P.A.R. learning at the
bottom of her homepage.
Evidence of Professional Development
E.W. does not include any indications of personal professional development
other than her own growth employing P.A.R. teaching techniques.
Evidence of Student Work
Although there are video interviews with students who participated in P.A.R.,
here is a student quote located on the homepage:
I joined this group because I wanted to have a better and safer
community than it is. I like to come to our meetings, because the
more time I have to work on this, the better my community will
be. . . I have changed a lot because I was very shy and now I'm
really loud. I've done presentations in San Diego in front of 300
people. I've also talked to reporters from newspapers and
television. I've talked to dignitaries from the city. I think I've
changed because of my friends because they're really loud too.
And, I'm getting a lot of friends and my voice is getting louder.
