Week 6 – Discussion

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Reflecting on Your Coursework

This discussion is your opportunity to receive feedback on the Week 6 Final Paper and Folio Assignment. Remember, submitting this information earlier in the week is advised to allow peers and the instructor ample time to offer feedback to you that you can use to revise your final assignment before submission.

Initial Post – In your initial post, submit a link to your Folio from the Week 6 Assignment and attach your draft document of the final assignment to the message. In the message of your initial post:

· In at least one paragraph, discuss your takeaways from this course. What new learning transpired for you in this course? What will you carry with you to your current or future classroom?

· In at least one paragraph, discuss how action research can influence educational change within the classroom, district, and nationwide.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two peers. Consider reviewing the Grading Rubric for the Week 6 Assignment and using language from the rubric in your feedback to peers about their projects. For optimal engagement with your learning peers, you are encouraged to re-engage in the discussion by replying to posts made in response to you by the instructor and peers. Timely feedback to peers will be most helpful to them in the finalization of their Week 6 Assignment!
