It was important for me to document that this didn't just "happen" - that constructivist learning environments can be thoughtfully planned and successfully implemented. So many times constructivist teaching is either portrayed either as "doing nothing" or "too hard". Neither one is correct! I’m really glad to hear that, Mary.

I have thinking a lot about the whole CMK08 experience. As an artist, I think in images;( I drew a lot of wings during the "appointments") so I appreciate your thoughtful verbal reflection on the synergy that is such an essential part of the process. Two weeks later I am still thinking about what folks created, and more importantly, how we collaborated. I have attended many conferences as a teacher, but never has one allowed for such interdependence between the participants. I learned so much from you and Gary and really, everyone in the room. Experts in their own right, teachers make great learners when given the chance. And in that "ah-ha" moment as active problem-solvers, we bring another powerful perspective to our role as "educators". Thanks again. I am looking forward to CMK09! Thanks Sylvia. I have thinking a lot about the whole CMK08 experience.
