Comfort Zone

This book and chapter have truly made me reflect on my classroom, kids, families and the relationships I have or possibly don’t have with them. Hick’s steps outside of the box of doing “typical” research, or research that I am most familiar with and really makes you think. The authenticity of her research and her book really made me step out of my comfort zone and grow as an individual and professional.

In order to truly make a difference and be able to teach all of our students we have to step out of comfort zone and learn our kids, their families, and communities. It is something that is easier said than done. It is simple to state that we want to make these changes and that they are needed. However, over coming the challenges that come with engaging in these practices is one that I feel I may fall short of as a teacher. I wonder each year is there someone I missed? Did I do all that I could or was I blinded by the curriculum? I would be very curious to see what Hick’s or any researcher would find if they did research in my room? Sometimes you need an outsider to really help you see, what you may otherwise not want to see.
