I found this assignment to be a challenging one, although a very worthwhile one. I partnered up with the TL at my school for this assignment and since I still have so much to learn, I was the person who underwent a change and she was my mentor. This was a tremendously useful project for me and I have benefited immensely from working collaboratively with our TL. She is a wealth of information and it was wonderful that I could benefit from her years of experience. The process was a time consuming one, and it took a lot of time not only spent in discussions with my TL but personally exploring with this new innovation myself. To understand the CBAM approach a little better, I also did a bit more reading through the UBC library databases. Anderson said that, “Change is a process, not an event” and this is comforting to remember. (Anderson, 1997) I will continue to learn more as I explore further with this new learning innovation. I hope that in the spring I can turn the tables and share my new knowledge with my grade one colleagues and help scaffold their learning in this new innovation.

You've done exceptionally well as someone who parachuted into the course at the last minute.
