A challenge - Not a Cop Out

As David and I reviewed the previous posts I am admittedly a bit, no really overwhelmed, by the length and narratives posted here. It feels daunting to me to be “up next” with David and I am conscience of not wanting to let him or you down! Yet I am not in a place where I feel compelled or able to offer something as reflective and insightful has those previously posted. I am grateful for David’ s wisdom which guided him in talking me down off the ceiling with saying how important it is for us as a community to create a place where everyone can find a way to contribute. So our way of inviting you to contribute this week is to ask you to pick up on the common theme offered by a combination of comments made by Dawn and Dave:
Go to a place where there will be new people in the environment and sit back and observe how the new people are picking up social and contextual clues and the norms: how are they being perceived by the regulars. A couple of ideas; a coffee shop, a public bus, a public library, a faith community experience.
Let us all know what you learned from you observations and how it can guide our work with students.
