Just wanted to write a quick reflection of the Kohn facilitation with Ben. I'd like to echo something Lesley mentioned at the end of class about going through the process with a partner. It was so helpful to discuss and bounce thoughts off of one another. Without Ben I wouldn't have gotten past the second paragraph of the reading. We spent alot of time just trying to figure out what Kohn meant by vertical and horizontal standards, and trying to come up with a logical "lesson plan" for the evening. It was also especially good for me, because I had so many things swirling around in my head and definitely could not have expressed those thoughts in half as coherent a manner as Ben did during the presentation. He was the play by play guy, while I was just the color commentator. This is also meant to compliment all of you who did this assignment individually--I couldn't have done it.
It was also really helpful to have another person around as we went back and reviewed previous authors.
As far as links used, we just followed the links on the assigned Kohn reading for supplemental information.
See you all tomorrow,
GK
