STUDENT WORK SAMPLES

HIGHLIGHTING STUDENT WORK
Whenever possible, I ask for flexibility and creativity in work samples. While I do assign papers from time to time, and accept papers when writing is my students' preferred expression style, or perhaps their comfort zone, I relish the creative products that I have the pleasure to read, watch, listen to, and/or experience.
Some assignments are already published to the web by the students; for these, I have shared links to their sites.
On some assignments, I may ask for a blanket "please indicate whether or not you give permission to post", such as assigned podcasts. Other times, I ask students individually for their permission to share their work on this site- and with a broader audience. Posted work is with the student/author's permission, and they retain the ownership of their work.

SYNTHESIS PROJECT
In this project, students were asked to take their understandings from the entire course and put theory into practice. In a product of their choice, students aligned organization, motivation and the classroom environment (management) to NC Professional Standard #2 with their classroom plans for next year.
