Memo #8

After looking through my student surveys, I have found some pretty clear patterns.

1. A lot of my students have skills or rules that they use or abide by outside of the classroom. Many students seemed to recognize dangerous times to be outside, what streets not to go down, and not getting involved with sketchy people. Even though they have this common knowledge, they did not recognize them!

2. After pushing students further with my questioning, students started to recognize that they have critical thinking skills, and apply these to the scenarios listed above. Many of my students are able to think quickly with their reactions to weird situations, and can determine the best course of action outside of school, whether they choose to follow it or not. But having this knowledge, will help me leverage these skills in the classroom! Very STOKED (yes, STOKED) on this information.


Now that I am conducting student interviews, with four specific students, I will try to find even more trends in my data.
