How will investigating your identity (as related to your participation in your Cohort and your Workplace CoP) enhance the insight and learning you gain from these communities?
I think it forces me to take a careful look at how my identity has influence on the way meaning is negotiated. For example, I might view some members as being impediments to certain functions such as proper alignment with what others at the district want.
What is your identity within each CoP? I’d say my identity works better in the context of this cohort than it does as a member of my CoP. This is due to my having boundaries that are more clearly defined at the workplace, or the fact that teachers are cliqueness.
How is your identity within these two CoPs connected?
It’s connected by my identity as an educator.
How is it separate? I serve different functions; with one I’m a colleague, the other a student.
How will your identity shape your social connections, practices, actions, and ultimately your learning this semester?
Much of this depends upon how successful I am in combining competence and experience.
How will you assure you are open to shifts in identity? How will you know when this happens?
I think these shifts will happen when we transcend boundaries (if that becomes possible).
