  1. I stopped looking only for disabilities and started looking more closely for abilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. I became less interested in subskill testing and teaching and more interested in real communication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. I stopped writing specific behavioral objectives and started writing broad learning goals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. My language intervention became less of a direct instruction process and more of an opportunity for discovery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. I trusted that children with special language and learning needs could become learners\u2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. I trusted myself to put students ahead of lesson plans and mastery criteria.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. I believed I could make a difference by mediating between context, meaning, and form as they operated freely in a variety of communication systems (reading, writing, art, drama, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
