Module 1 Reading Reflection

The P21 Framework Definitions reading was the most beneficial for me in this module. I had never heard of the P21 Framework before and I thought this reading did a nice job explaining the concept. I could not agree more with the idea behind this framework. I think it is extremely important that we are producing students who are well rounded indivuals. By the time they graduate, these students should be ready for college or the workforce, but most of all they should be ready to be model citizens. I love the idea behind the P21 Framework, but I have some concerns when it comes to implementing it. Every single teacher within a school district would have to be on board in doing so. And even then, time becomes a huge restraint. I only have each of my students for 46 minutes per day. Right now I use this time teaching the Ohio math standards. Even now it is a struggle to cover each standard in 180 days. I just don't know how we could realistically implement the P21 Framework on top of today's current standards, but I would love to be teaching leadership and communication amongst all the other topics in the framework.
