This short visual presentation was delivered during my Appreciative Inquiry Capstone experience.

1. Appreciatively Growing
reflective teachers

2. “There are moments in the classroom
when I can hardly hold the joy.

3. When my students and I discover
uncharted territory to explore, when the
pathway out of a thicket opens up before us

am so powerless to do anything about it
that my claim to be a teacher seems a
transparent sham
