It may sound a little strange but seeing students struggle brings me joy...or rather should I say brings joy...eventually. Today I assigned a task to students that was unfamiliar to them to complete and while they knew the content and had all the resources they needed, they struggled to complete the task. The struggle came from them not completely applying themselves. I knew that they could successfully complete the task at hand, but they didn't. Though inquiry, persistence and problem solving, they were able to complete the tasks and end the end hand that joyful lightbulb moment!
