i had seconds thoughts about this assignment because I was thinking man have I done enough to actually present well in from of Herbert. Then I thought to myself wait a minute I have actually done quite a bit. Some would probably say more than others. I am pretty hard on myself when it comes to academics, because lets just say its not my passion lol but I do it because its my calling. I have students who I am going to be teaching next year when I am back in class and I want to use the knowledge I have acquired to to support student achievement in a bilingual education pathway.
This assignment is a learning conversation to see where my thinking is at in terms of my project purpose and also to see what I have done so far and discuss what needs to be done next. I found it to be a very useful conversation because I needed to hear it from Herbert whether I am on the right track and whether or not my project has merit to pass my Masters qualification. Now in a way I was surprised I answered every question and answered it well. Now this is me just having high expectations of my learning. I realised that I spoke a lot because I knew my why! together with what I have done already it serves to be a good base for discussion.
If I can remember correctly the questions I need to continue to think hard about was how UDL and Flipped Learning Aligns or doesn't align with bilingual pedagogies?
Why did I pick UDL and Flipped Learning approaches?
What are my next steps?
The BIG questions was about the Literature: I cant remember what he said but it was important. I think that this is the big portion of the project which is why its strongly emphasised. Now I think its about reading the literature and comparing it against other literature.
But when I get the video recording of my conversation I will post here. Saves me from writing it all up lol
