    legitimate peripheral participation: 'We won the whole thing that year; I was only on the court for 10 minutes all season, but WE won the whole thing that year!'

  3. Needs: What we have to have to survive.In the classroom we need stimulation, respect, and the objectives for learning. It's like food for the mind, soul, and body.

    relatedness: How things are connected. I believe that the interconnectedness of many things come from the experience and perception of the person. How do the dots in education connect for me? The class as a symphony.

  5. Life is like a race against ourselves to allow ourselves to be a success. The only hurdles I can see are created by my own thoughts or self perceived limitations. Better loosen the reigns.

  6. Entity view of ability: I didn't realize that there were two views regarding the concept of ability. The entity view suggests that ability is an innate birthright that exists apart from and can't be changed through effort or increased understanding and effort. I decided to buy into the opposite theory, the incremental view of ability.

    Legitimate peripheral participation: I would sum up legitimate peripheral participation with the old adage "giving it your all". The term describes a state of being fully committed to the goal or task being tackled by a group despite one's shortcomings.

    Self-Handicapping- students getting into things that hinder their own success, so that can avoid trying to their full ability
