Final Reflection


A final reflection of about 350-500 words is required to receive training hours and is in addition to the required posts for training credit. All posts and final reflections should be completed by Monday, March 12th.

Training credits awarded based on posting to Introduction and Final Reflection PLUS:
  • Attend both meetings + 8 or more posts = full credit of 10 hours
  • Miss one meeting + 12 or more posts       = full credit of 10 hours
  • Attend both meetings + at least 5 posts = half credit of 5 hours
  • Miss one or both meetings but do 8 posts = half credit of 5 hours

First, write about the connections you made to The Essentials:  Supporting Young Children with Disabilities in the Classroom.  How was the book relevant to your work with children and families?    How did the reading and discussion provide new perspectives, information, and priorities?  Identify the specific ideas that came from the book or the discussion as having the greatest impact on your thinking.

Second, write about specific changes in your practices you will make as a result of this experience.  Do you anticipate changing the way you plan and implement your program?  The way you interact with children?  The way you orient and train teachers? How you will communicate to families the intent of your program and help them do likewise at home?  

In conclusion, share any other final thoughts and your curiosities. What topics or ideas will you explore further?
