“The class forced me to look at my mostly-language-arts-oriented
philosophy and enlarge upon it. I had to think more deeply
about what I really do believe about process and product, about
judging and grading, and about the standards in order to articulate
them for class, and in some instances defend or discard those
beliefs. "—ASWC Virtual Open Institute participant
