(Choices for Children Reflection) //(Through the reflection and questioning of educational writing and ideas, I am working within the community of learners to continue my own growth as a professional, but also the growth of those around me. Through admitting my own weaknesses and shortcomings, as well as the common assumptions and practices of academia or teachers "de jour", a conversation about beliefs, goals, strategies, and practice for others can also begin.)//

Semester 3 - I am learning that learning is socially constructed and therefore requires interaction and communication. (Vygotsky's Social Contructivism Reading For Nov. 18)
