5326 Reflection

This course has honestly been on of the most enjoyable courses that I have taken in this program.  I thought the timing of this course was perfect because it was the first one of the semester, which also happened to be when our campus was seeking out community involvement.  To be honest, when it comes to volunteering for school events on my campus, I usually turn a deaf ear to them. However, this year I wanted to see exactly how community involvement worked and what all went "behind the scenes." Sure enough, majority of what we talked about in class was talked about at school. We discussed the importance of Title 1 funds and how they impacted the classroom. We also met together for the first time as a Site Based Decision Making Committee to go over the goals for the year. Finally, the day before this course ended, we had our first school event which was a "Bingo Night" at our campus. The turnout was tremendous! I am glad that this course started when it did! I was able to get so much out of it mainly because I started becoming involved in my school!
