EDIM 513 - Inquiry Reflection

We do not fully understand situations, issues, and problems until we are able to reflect.  Inquiry was first introduced in college, and as theories were introduced I could never see myself as that 'good' of a teacher.  I did not understand the practice at the time and had very little knowledge of anything related to pedagogy.  As my education course notebooks gathered dust, so did the idea of inquiry.

Now, fast-forward 8 years. In reflection, I am not the teacher I once was, and that is a good thing.  Through collaboration, being a large part of a PLC, continuous work on my Master's degree, and overall aging and growing up I find that I am more than just a teacher of earth science - I am an educator for tomorrow and the greater good.  This career is not what I thought it would be and I am appreciative of that.  This course was meant to be my last in my Master's program at Wilkes University as it has allowed be to reflect and know that there is always growth.
