Learning Intentions
To build relationships that will contribute to the success of the virtual coaching
To build understanding of modern literacies, pedagogies, heutagogy and metacognitive reflection
To learn and practice skills & habits of mind that will be used to support your students & shift your thinking about teaching & learning
To build understanding of pedagogical documentation (a reflection tool for your own learning & a teaching tool for others)
Success Criteria
What do you think “success” will look like, feel like, etc? What will you need to understand, do or experience in order to feel successful?
“We do not learn from experience. We learn from reflecting on experience.”
-John Dewey
