EDLD 5363 Final Version of "Safety First"

EDLD 5363 Weeks 4 & 5 Web Conferences Reflections

After viewing the latest webcasts from Dr. Abernathy, I find that much of the mystery has been taken out of the class requirements. There may be a cloud or two that I have to remove, but on the whole, things are better. Some of the points stressed by Dr. Abernathy include the basic premise of the collaborative effect of the group itself. Our purpose and objective is to help each other, not only in the present but also in the future with our students, fellow teachers, and administrators. One question that I was familiar with dealt with the differences between a script and the outline. Dr. Abernathy gave a common sense explanation and the issue was resolved. This, I believe is a classic example of over thinking a given issue. This is something that I have gained great expertise in and wish that I hadn't. The subject of maintaining a level course of progress toward fulfilling the intern hours requirements was stressed by Dr. Abernathy. She provided an example of a student that has fallen behind, and was in danger academically. The subject of the ILD, Instructional Leadership Development, was discussed and we were given some appropriate and timely suggestions to that end. I understand from Dr. Abernathy that I should probably start preparing for the ILD at my local ESC. I am past the halfway point in the program, and it was her thought to begin the process of addressing that portion of certification. I feel as though these web conferences are very valuable in that the unknown becomes known, and I find great comfort in that.
