Project 180

And the Results Are In: Project 180, Day 45

Leave a comment
Morning, all. Hard to believe that today is the 1/4 mark of the journey. And so, now, with 45 days behind us, I offer a glimpse of how my companions are faring. Overall, I am not displeased with the results of the survey, with many indicating a positive experience thus far. I am curious about the “Neutrals.” I wonder if they mean “undecided” or “indifferent.” I hope it’s the former, for that tells me that the kids are being honest and thoughtful in their responses, and they are giving the process a fair shake, waiting until they have more experience on which to base their responses. But, if it is indifference, that is another story, and these kids may be harder to convince that the 180 approach has value. It will be interesting to see how kids respond at the halfway mark with another 45 days behind us.
As I did not generate the questions (I came across them in the Twitterverse), I  wonder if they are the best representation of what I am really looking for. Regardless, since they now represent the baseline, I will continue with the same 25 questions for the rest of the year (at each quarter mark). What I do like about these questions is that they provide a pretty comprehensive view of the classroom community, focusing not only on the teacher-student relationships  but also the student-student relationships as key components in the classroom culture. I will put the results up in the classroom on our student-voice bulletin board, so the kids can see the results, see what their peers are saying.
Sorry for the long, short post this morning. Thanks for all the support you have provided in the journey so far. Glad you are with us. Happy Wednesday, all.
I am accepted in this class just as I am.(80 responses)

Additional Feedback: Is there anything else you’d like to share with me about your experiences in my class so far this year?(25 responses)
I kinda like you. Lol JK!! Your pretty cool thanks for trusting us and for treating us like human beings
You’re willing to take the time to make sure we understand what we’re doing.
I don’t see the need to do the speech.
I think you do an amazing job of teaching us all about in LA and giving us the opportunity to apply it to our lives and whats important to us.
I don’t like papers, handouts, anything we get. I would rather get lectures and just talk about things all together in the class. I feel we would waste less time and have less loose papers. If we do work, then maybe on chrome books, or efficiently on paper, but I don’t like the fact that we get a whole sheet of paper that has lots of words spaced out and all we write is just a few things. I would much rather get a packet in that case, or a sheet of paper that has like 20 lessons on it written in small font to fit more. Sorry.
Yeah boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Get rid of EOW or at least reduce to once a month
i fall behind easily
So far, you have not at all prepared me for the test at the end of the year or the real world.

I like this class a lot, but I would like to write more fictional stories instead of just writing about myself.
I enjoy my time in this class, it does more for me than you can realize.
U cool and this class is good
its been a blast
Glad to be here
I like this class. Some of the things we go over I don’t understand, but after we do practice it gets a little bit easier.
I really enjoy what you’re doing in this class. I feel bad because I have not done much in this class. I respect you a lot as a teacher and a person.
I started off this year doing everything given to me. I’m losing motivation to do that now though, not only in here but in math and some other classes too. I don’t know what to do
I like how life lessons and a sense of community are incorporated into this class.
I……LOVE…..THIS……CLASS………
N/A
I feel like having an automatic A makes me less worrysome about what i do in this class, and i want to do something to change that but my memory is horrible and i FORGET EVERYTHING AND IM SORRY
It’s the class I appreciate the most
We should do more speeches in this class.
There are many things I am not very motivated to do because it does not interest me (the blog in particular).
