What ideas did you discover that will help your students

Reference no: EM131887477

For this final project, you will be a classroom teacher developing a creative and culturally relevant idea, concept, or movement for your school.

Think about everything you have seen, heard, discussed, shared, and viewed over the past five weeks. What information stuck out as something you would want to implement in your school or classroom? Was there an idea that you wished you could share with your colleagues?

What ideas did you discover that will help your students with being creative while also being culturally relevant? You are going to create a proposal for an idea that you would like to implement in your school.

Think about to whom you would need to propose this idea? Your administrator? Colleague? PLC team? For a few more ideas to brainstorm, view this Association of School and Curriculum Development. (ASCD) video.
