Response to Simarjit Shergill’s 10.2 Post

This is my response to Simarjit Shergill’s post on Unit 10’s Learning Activity.

Hi Simarjit,

I have enjoyed learning alongside you in LDRS 591!

Like you, I work in a large organization where decision making is not only up to me. In fact, oftentimes I am left out of much of the policy decision making at my work. Similar to you as well, I find that the skills I have learned in this course aids me in research and improvements in my own practice. I have found that as a teacher, after receiving my degree in education, it is up to myself to pursue meaningful professional development. Understanding how to discern and decide whether the resources I am using are credible helps me to improve my practice in my classroom. As well, it allows me to share ideas with my colleagues without worrying what I am sharing is unreliable. It makes me feel extra smart too when I am able to contribute to intellectual discussions on educational practices in the office 😉

I hope we are in the same course again soon!

🙂 Ruth
