peer feedback

Having the privilege of others listening to and helping me to gain new insight into my writing is so incredibly meaningful. I felt as if I was given permission to linger a bit longer within some elements of my story, as well as to be able to tell my story and have a safe environment in which to do this. This underscores so much of what we intuitively know about teaching. Without the "absence of threat" building a true sense of community in our classrooms is not possible.
