Over the past 7 weeks in this course I have really enjoyed the topics covered and the discussions that have been facilitated. The one elements of this course that stands out to me the most was the documentary 2 million minutes. Not only was this documentary eye opening to see how successful a charter school here in AZ is, but it also facilitated a great discussion. This discussion was not only strong and intense in class but it also flowed over into my classmate’s blogs. I very much enjoyed reading my peers perspectives of this Charter school and how they were similar or different to mine. It was interesting to see what we felt would prohibit us to run a school like BASIS in our districts. Finally, it was after we studied BASIS that TfA decided to take optional “field trip” to visit BASIS. While I was unable to attend it was interesting to know that TfA is trying to copy that model in our own Phoenix classrooms.
Overall I very much enjoyed this course and what it added to me not only in a personal educational sense but also in a professional sense. I appreciate my professor and my peers hard work and risk taking in classroom discussions and other elements of this course. It was a very valuable course.
