The end is near. I can smell it (or hear it, or see it?). Just the final bits and pieces to wrap up including the poster, hook video and some tweaks to the capstone site.
While the executive summary seemed more painful than expected when it was originally assigned, it was incredibly useful to dig back into the action research paper. Having been 7 months since I shoveled the research paper away in a long-forgotten EDUC790 Google Drive folder, deciphering the main points seemed so distant from where I am at currently. For a moment anxiety struck me, "how was I going to summarize a process that I no longer felt connected with"? Then I realized, I wouldn't be in my current mindset if it wasn't my past experiences that had called out for the shift. For some reason, this connection has previously eluded me. The innovative learning program is designed to push you, encourage you to reflect on your pedagogy and ultimately allow you to integrate new skills and thought processes into your classroom. The program did exactly what it was designed to do, create change. In this respect, it is encouraging that how I am thinking about education is different today than it was 3,6,9,12 months ago. That is the purpose right? I am excited to begin my poster after completing the executive summary. Sifting through my collected data and analysis has really helped boil down what it is I want my viewer to get and to know about how this program has shifted the way my classroom operates and why this is important to my students.
