Believe it or not, I actually have had time to spend with my husband and children
and to pack most of my house. All three of my entries are complete -- and at exactly
12 pages. I made the necessary revisions and had a great experience sharing my
pieces at the support session. Everyone gave very constructive criticism and I
used many of the suggestions offered. Five heads really are better than one! Writing
about myself was much harder than I thought it would be, though -- it felt like
bragging.
Now, with the three Accomplishments done, I've started to work on my two-page
Reflection. I find that tying the three Accomplishments together and discussing
how they impacted student learning is a challenge. I wrote my rough draft in one
day, but then I had to take a break! I've spent as much time on these two pages
as I did on a five-page Accomplishment.
When it's done, I plan to share my reflective summary with our support session
instructor to make sure I'm on the right page; and then, with her feedback, I'll
adjust it. All said, I've spent 12 to 15 hours wrapping this entry up.
