It is preferable to get up in the morning feeling motivated and refreshed with new insights (as opposed to bullied by the alarm clock). I would like to keep motivating my students who are demonstrating comprehension...reward them with process work that they are ready for and can handle. I need to take this "promoting autonomy" that an educator does, seriously. Especially in a small pullout format with various needs and abilities, this is possible. I will ensure that I have the differentiated piece and the learning modalities piece more explicit in the next observation lesson.
