Wednesday, Oct 13th: Mid-course feedback & FOLDERS!

On Wednesday Parkway students responded to three questions to provide feedback on how the class is going for them so far. The three questions were:

-What is going well for you in this class?
-What would you like to see go differently?
-What can you do to maximize your learning in this class?

After writing in response to these questions we discussed how the class wanted to work together as a classroom community. Out of this conversation also came ideas about how the class wanted to engage with a wider community outside of this class and outside of Parkway. Parkway students talked about wanted to see more of balance between the "mural" aspects of the class and the "college access" focus. Students also expressed an interest in visiting area colleges as a group and doing community service projects in the neighborhood.

Student responses to the question: "How do you want this class to work together as a community?"

The 2nd half of class Jomaira and Zanny worked with students individually in the hall to put together folders of information and documents related to their college search process. The folders will stay in the classroom in hanging file folders in one of the cabinets. Over the next week we will continue to work with each student in the class to put together a folder of information, deadlines, goals, and next steps.
