This position capitalises on the dynamics of participation in community prac-tices and on unique individual contributions to transform these practices as the ground-ing for both identity and learning. ‘Identity is about the search of a meaningful activitythat can make a difference that matters to others and to ourselves and thereforeconstitutes the uniqueness of ourselves’ (Stetsenko 2017, 228).
This part of the document speaks to me as it truly shows the importance of capturing student identity and individual learner needs within our daily instruction. However, not only do we need to be mindful of the individuals, but how to collectively plays into the community of learners that we are building. Often times, I see the best learning happening when student groups are collaboratively participating in an activity. When students work together, there is often higher engagement and higher engagement leads to new knowledge acquired.
