EDLD 5397 Web Conference Week 5

I was able to listen to the recorded web conference this week and found ti very helpful to my understanding of the program as a whole.  Dr. Cortez-Rucker provided links to study for the LCE and highly encouraged everyone to take the test as soon as possible, while the ideas were still fresh in our minds.  I am planning to attempt the LCE during the week break between classes.  Questions were also asked about TK20 and what was required in different parts of the program.  I had the same questions as well and was very appreciate of his efforts to explain the different pieces of each part and also his sending out those requirements in the announcements the next day.   I have printed this information and will be referring to it often.  Overall this web conference help me gain a little bit of confidence in my ability to successfully complete the program without a huge deficit at entering the last course.

EDLD 5397 - Week 4 Web Conference

This week’s web conference was a short one that answered all questions that were asked.  Dr. Cortez-Rucker explained that we can take the LCE at any point now instead of waiting for the 8^th course to begin.  This will help us take advantage of the review materials provided in this course for the exam.  The other discussion centered around finishing our action research papers as the last course will require different sections to be turned in each week so anthing that we can get done early would be beneficial in the end.  I plan to try to have mine completed and written by early summer as my project will conclude in May. I did not know exactly what to ask, but would love to know exactly what documents should be where.  A check list would help so I know I am on target.  I might work on developing that for myself this week and then ask questions to fill in the gaps when needed.  This would help with my feeling of disorganization.
