Introduction to postings

INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES
Educators’ voices: reflect, explore, and connect

Posted November 4, 2007

Bienvenidas/os

The meanings of individual, family, and community, as I invited my colegas to analyze, need to be situated within specific factors and within specific socio-cultural and political spaces.

The academic discussions and the amount readings invite us to continue exploring how the readings reflect our situated experiences.

To what extent do the readings mirror the different meanings people attach to ‘individual’, ‘family’, and community? This reflective question has been a constant tool to our discussions during the semester.

In this blog, all of our colegas, will post their final reflection on the learning experiences they have gained from our class readings. Students may choose various ideas to reflect on, and which take them to choose their final project.

For privacy purposes, names of institutions, and people involved in the final project, will not be revealed/posted.

We hope that these contributions make us reflect and act upon the situated meanings of individuals, families, and communities wherever we work as teachers.

Students will use their NAME and a KEY PHRASE to introduce and post their final class reflection. Please feel free to reflect on this final posting, and post a comment. Feel free to contact me, or a student in our class.
