Reflection

= Reflection﻿ = This is my second year with the Cool Kids Club, Inc. I realized the importance of the club to continue making a connection with the students and the teachers. The first year, teacher were very upset with the Principal and I, because their grades were not great and felt that they should not be in the club or attend field trips. My Principal felt strongly about each students having exposure to their history and college campuses. Teachers wanted to punish the students, which I understood. So this year the communication between the students are stronger, because grades must be first, which demonstrates what the club represents "education first". This area is still hard to battle at times, my students are flucuating with behavior and grades, example, one week student is a dream, grades are good and then the following week student is having a bad attitude and no homework to turn in. In this course I  discovered that we never stop being Teacher Leaders. It is up to the teacher, to have that attitude. We are the stakeholders in education. This club will allow me to help those students who need an extra push or guidance,.but it also teaching me how to be a better teacher, and leader, as well. My position as a Technology Facilitator has helped me as well. I'm doing constant research for my teachers, workshops, the club and for ASU.

You can not learn and lead in front of the television. We are powerful human beings doing amazing things-changing lives through education and creating dreams.
