At the beginning of distance learning and when

CSTP 6: Developing as a Professional Educator
we returned to school, my class and I engaged in
a class discussion about respect and what it
means to "own your learning." We discuss the
importance of respecting one another and how
we learn and why students should be held
accountable for their learning. 12/13/20

I continue to engage and reinforce everything

mentioned above and plan to continue that
throughout my educational career. 5/7/21
