Reading Reflection #2

1. I like the idea of learning communities. The idea is for teachers to combine ideas with other teachers to gather ideas and share ways to improve lessons, attitudes, tests, etc. Doing this improves teacher relationships and allows teachers to become better. With teacher focus on learning communities, this can improve their students learning by expanding their own knowledge. 

2. I find there are many benefits to learning communities. The biggest one is that there is infinite knowledge that can be passed around from teacher to teacher collaberation. The expansion of ideas and discussions can create a whole knew teaching technique, project, lesson, and much more in the classroom.

3. Learning communities can only affect teachers in a positive way. I'm sure there are many teachers out there who would rather not share their teaching strategies and not receive advice from others, but in the end, that can always help even a little. Learning communities should be looked as a helpful, affective way to enhance a teachers teaching.

4. When teachers are making an effort to expand their knowledge and do more for the benefit of their students, it is going to affect their students in a positive way. Teachers play as a role model and by their collaberation and coming together to learn can be a great influence on students. Sharing and combining thoughts to become better and know more is a great power to have.

5. Some components for shared vision in the learning communities are shared visions from teacher to teacher, collaborate with one another, focus on student learning, share and hold beliefs, commit to ongoing improvement, and expand their own knowledge so they are life-long learners.

6. Working in our groups based around a theme, makes us our own learning community. We are constantly putting our heads together and coming up with ideas. Three minds are better than one in my opinion and the three of us will be able to come up with great ideas to benefit our own students.
