I also enjoyed our discussion of our questions. After having the discussion and looking back at my top 5 questions I saw a general theme about myself and my teaching. My questions all theme around being a "better person" and getting students to become "better people." I am excited about this goal of mine because I believe it is truly why we teach. In the high school I find that it is easy to get wrapped up in teaching the content and many of us forget what the ultimate goal of teaching is - to improve the lives of other and better prepare them for what is ahead. After we discussed my question though I found myself a little disheartened. Many of the "who" and "when" questions I could easily answer "everywhere" and "all the time." I feel like my question "how can I make students more open-minded and less judgemental" is a daunting task. I only get 18 weeks at 90 minutes a day to try help them see this "fault" and then help them to repair it. Hmmm.....
Thanks for listening to me muddle through this =)
