I enjoyed reading Campoy because there were many times that I could relate to the article. For example, it was written that " Teachers make dozens of daily classroom decisions. How does a teacher learn to make these decisions? What can a teacher do to ensure that he or she is making decisions that will benefit students". I feel as if I am constantly asking myself, is this the right choice? Should I teach it this way? Well I know certain students will benefit one way, others another way, so how can I make this lesson beneficial and well-rounded for all students? I find myself asking more questions lately than I have answers, but I feel confident that the answers will be found eventually.
The section on case studies was also beneficial because although I have been teaching for a few years now, I do not have a lot of experience with formal case studies and I know it is a requirement of this class and a practice that could be implemented in the future to help my students. It made the whole idea of case studies more approachable. I need to look at case studies as a way to help my students and not some hard assignment. There will be a positive end to the case study if I can use them to better teach my learners.
