Questions

In my last AGPP class on December 13th I co-kept a circle with Professor Lukens. Prof. Lukens and I met twice before the circle to review the opening, questions, and closing of the circle. She had a talking piece picked out and we borrowed a piece of cloth to use as a centerpiece. Using some notes from the training I attended with Kay Pranis, I created a handout with a description of what a balanced circle looks like (i.e. getting acquainted, building relationships, addressing issues, developing…

After reading this page, I asked a story related question since all the students have a sibling or more. I asked if they ever received hand me down clothing from their older brother or sister and they all said yes, and clothes are too big for them as well. On paged 4; Ex: When Titch tried on his brother’s pants, they were way too big for him. Therefore, I asked the students an evaluation question (based on this observation,) What would you recommend Titch do? The students…

Self-report is the dominant method of assessment in personality research. Respondents are asked questions about how they think, feel, and behave, and their answers are assumed to be accurate and predictive of behaviors associated with those traits. These reports essentially rely on the ability of respondents to accurately remember and report on the cause and/or effect of momentary thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Thinking heuristics provide insight on the behaviors that participants may be…

In the United States, it is required by law that every child must attend school. This can be in the form of public or private schooling, along with homeschooling. If a parent knowingly does not enroll their child in school the consequences can be costly and can potentially result in jail time. Based on this information, it is very apparent that education is highly valued within the country. U.S. citizens are constantly looking for ways to improve their lives and education is essential to their…

However, with Fluffy and Rocco, I could ask questions and get the gritty details of their marriage. They were willing to tell me facts and answer my questions openly (almost too open at times). This helped me understand the difference between Fluffy and Rocco as well. It created an opportunity to ask more personal questions about how they struggled and what made them want to change, work as a team and what they were feeling while answering questions about their hardest moments. Fluffy was open…

never communicated with her face-to-face. I prepared to conduct the interview in a way that it would feel like a normal conversation and not a regular interview. For example, I would not always say things from the interview questions that I prepared, I would sometimes ask a question on piece of information that she would share. I also wanted to make sure that before I went for the interview, that I had enough space on my phone to record the interview and that it was fully charged. I felt as…

were eager to answer questions about the stories. It was evident that the students read both stories and comprehended what they read. Once they finished reviewing, the class broke up into groups and participated in stations that they have been doing since the beginning of the year. One of the stations was to meet at the reading table with Mrs. Neth and read a story together. There were about three or four students and they each had a copy of the story, a page with three questions, and a…

class is asked to choose two Philosophers that agree on an idea that is most important to us. That idea for me is living the best life a person can. So my two Philosophers are Plato/Socrates and Frankl. The second question; what is “doing philosophy is all about”, the third question is why the philosophers we have read think philosophy is important and lastly what will I take forward or what made the most impact on how I will live my life. Discussion The first book we read was Plato’s “The…

There may be a slight contradiction between conclusion and action plan. Both ask “what you could have done differently” with the action plan having the added “would you act differently next time”? I would suggest that both could be part of the same question and in doing this would further simply the cycle. It does not include shared experience. As a teacher sharing good practice is vital to both student and teacher to progress and develop. Sharing good practice has allowed us to address good and…
