Kyle's New Class Expectations

The fact that we are already into week nine out of fifteen is a scary thought when you realize how fast time has flown by this semester. Naturally, we have covered quite a lot in class during that time and have spent a decent amount of time exploring each topic in deep thought or class conversations. At the moment I do not have any lingering questions that still nag me from previous discussions. I feel that the dialogue in this class largely contributes to this well-developed understanding of the material from each week. The few topics that I would like to possible explore in some spare time during class are how to go about advocating change within a school without coming off as arrogant or disrespectful to peers as a new faculty member, how to best handle difficult family members of your students, and how to balance the line between taking risks in your classroom and following the curriculum to the word when working in a less supportive district of teacher creativity. (Wow that is a but of a run-on sentence, sorry about that.)
