Chapter 1
"Students want teachers to know their strengths and acknowledge their expertise, but they rarely get a chance to make them known." (2)
This really jumped out at me because I was that kind of student in school. I wanted teachers to know that although I might not be the best student in their class, I still had other skills and strengths. Many times, however, I felt that the opportunity to share my accomplishments was never presented, or if it was, it felt forced and awkward. I also felt more confident when a teacher picked up and commented on something that I had done right. It prompted me to work harder.

good reflection. see if you can spot the students that fit this description when you're in your practicum classroom.
