When I Reflect About My Collegial, Professional Learning Community

1. one consequence of my experience being a part of a caring, collaborative learning community was I a was able to listen to and get suggestions.

2. The second consequence was the collaborative learning community was resourceful. They were resourceful in different ways, such as being able to express frustrations of our profession, and knowing that someone actually understood where you were coming from.

3. The third consequence was encouragement. Encouragement happened at the time I needed it most, our 7th week. Most times I am my own worst critic, and another classmate gave encouraging comments to our assignment we shared that week.

The one goal for using this collegial experience to enhance my advocacy etc. is to remember that everyone has their own personal opinion. I have a hard time accepting something different than what I am used to. This collaborative learning community has showed me that we all are unique in what we have to bring to the table.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this class. It is always encouraging when we are able to collaborate with those that have the same passion for children as we do. I have learned a great deal this 8 weeks from my peers. Much success to you as we continue our journey.

  2. Susann, It was really interesting when you said that you recieved encouragement when you needed it the most.I believe that is what we are here for. We are to encourage and uplift one another cause we more than anyone knows what we go through on a daily basis in our professions.

    I really enjoyed hearing feed back from colleagues as well. I especially looked forward to what everyone thought of my system and how I could better it. It was so helpful. Thanks for all your feedback as well.
