Blondell and Miller

I really like Diane Gorski's way of slowly reeling her students into a new learning process. She was able to connect with the students but never giving up and always evolving. The moment we stop questioning our ability to "do better" in the classroom we immediately limit the possibility to do our students any justice. Diane adapted to the needs of the students and that made all the difference to them and her. For example, her use of a digital video allowed the students to find a personal connection with the assignment which Goski than encouraged the students to build upon. Diane Goski's willingness to adapt was the key to her "feeling purpose" in the classroom once again and to her students finally feeling purpose.

  1. This is a really important part of this reading: the fact that she didn't give up when the first project didn't go well. I agree!
