I continue feeling the effects of a roller coaster at times. Sometimes I feel like I have everything straight in my head and then then the dip comes. Currently, I feel like I know what I would like my Capstone project to look like. I think each class that goes by helps in connecting yet another piece to the puzzle that is my project.
I must admit that even though I feel more centered in what I would like my end result to look like, I also feel quiet overwhelmed. I am not sure how challenging it might be to bring it all together as a whole project. Also, having stepped in to help as the Assistant Principal at my school sight has definitely added a complex twist to my life (Yet, I must say I am enjoying the experience for sure!). I feel like I am doing my best, but having added yet one more thing to my plate, my best does not seem to be enough at times. Since I have taken on this added responsibility I feel like I am always trying to just stay afloat. So I am glad for the glimpses of clarity that I get as we meet and have discussions, as well as, complete different assignments. I am hoping that as we continue meeting and connecting different components, will be able to more easily envision my Capstone project.

As I sit here and think of creating a prototype for my capstone project, I have so many ideas that I overwhelm myself. (If that makes any sense?!) There are times when I feel like I know exactly what I want to do and what I want to include in my capstone project, but then there are other times when I feel I am completely confused about what I am doing and how to make it all come together. That being said, for my capstone, I want to create a website that will serve as a tool kit for teachers who want to learn more about a reading curriculum that effectively includes guided reading. I will be introducing my driving question along with providing language arts data that shows state and local data; as well as my own data from my research last trimester. I will also review the research that shows guided reading is beneficial for students. I would like to link a video of a guided reading lesson using the program A Flying Start to Literacy. I would also add a link to different lesson plans, possibly one with a screen cast explaining the different parts of the lesson plan. The OKAPI website would also be linked along with other websites that I find. I know I will also be including a survey for teachers as to their thoughts on the effectiveness of the program and possibly another one on how useful the website was for them.
Like I mentioned before, I feel like I have many ideas; yet, I am having a difficult time creating a table of contents. I think I just need to take a break and try again. |
