Discussion #1: The First 4

There are two parts to this week's discussion. Please be sure to answer both questions posed.

The first four qualities Ron Clark discusses in his book are Enthusiasm, Adventure, Creativity, and Reflection. First of all, which of these qualities do you think is most evident in your classroom? Give us an example to support your opinion.

Secondly, which of these qualities, if focused on with intention, do you think would most benefit your students in the upcoming year? Share at least one idea you have to bring this quality into your classroom (or position, if not in the classroom).
