6/25 morning pages

topic: what's your plan for the ai and your research?

well, since i've changed my topic a million times, my plan for this summer is to get my act together. how's that? i need to research some things that i plan to look into further during the next school year. i have a book or two to read and many journals to sift through. i am excited that i messed up so weirdly and have kind of reversed the order of things (i didn't do any research last school year) because the next school year will start off more focused, i think.

my topic, simply put, is roughly about how the special ed kids in my classes excel doing things the other "regular ed" kids don't do so well. i have been lucky to work with some crazy special ed teachers who are willing to try new things with my classes and challenge their kids daily. by doing so, having some special ed kids in class has enhanced the climate and thinking going on in there. i also wonder how my "special ed" class (labels are sooo silly) can take a subject and run away with it when my other classes are okay with it, but simply don't always take my breath away like the kids who are not supposed to be able to do it.

i’m excited to find what’s already out there and hope to add something new and relevant to it all. we’ll see! (disclaimer: this is the fourth time i’ve typed this entry—it keeps erasing my stuff!!!--- and i really did have some more brilliant things in the first draft that i’ve now forgotten, but you get the idea…..)
