It’s time to celebrate! It’s time to look at our own learning, look at our own growth and look at how this has positively impacted our students and possibly even other teachers in our buildings. It’s time to recognize the impact a year can have when we decide we want to make a change. It’s time to pat ourselves on the back, and it’s time to start reflecting on where this growth will lead us to next year. Some of us may choose to continue on the same path as we still have work to do with our HMW questions. Some of us may choose to tackle a question that came up this year, during our work with our 2018 HMW question. The best part – all of this celebrating is just the start of something great and you get to choose just how great it is going to be for HMW 2019.
I won’t be able to attend #cohort21’s final F2F as I am only a part-time attendee. That being said, I’ve created a video for you all so that you can see the journey we went on this year over in NB. The best part, for sure, is the student survey at the end of the video. Numbers don’t lie, and with numbers like these, I can’t wait to see where we go next with peer-to-peer feedback and resiliency. For those of you who want to see the feedback from our third lab a bit closer, I’ve posted the two photos below as they are either too blurry to read, or too far away to read in the video. I opted for too far away so you don’t think there is something wrong with your eyes.

Amazing job!! I loved your video and am so excited that you experienced overwhelmingly positive feedback on your approach to feedback 🙂
Thank you for sharing this learning with all of us! We can all benefit from your action plan here and I am excited to try this approach to feedback with my students as well. Sorry to hear you can’t go to the next F2F. Hopefully our paths with cross again in the future! All the best on your continued teaching journey.
Mary-Ellen,
Congrats and Wow! This is a great reflection of your passion and tireless work on this project. Every student saw value, even the outlying 25%. Where will students go next? Hopefully, asking g for peer feedback and learning in future classes!
Congrats!
Mary-Ellen,
This is fantastic! You have really made the most of your Cohort21 experience this year! You took something fully within your sphere of influence and stuck with it, reflecting on every step of your work with your students and the end results are incredible! I loved the video – particularly the bit that included students reflection on why peer feedback resonated with them. Bravo!
