Course Overview
The ordinary experiences of our teaching days are the essence of our practice. Using a guide to reflect on these experiences is an entry to improving our teaching (Hole and McEntee).
Serving as a member of a small online PLC discussion forum, participants in this class will step through guided weekly reflection processes to ultimately analyze, evaluate, reflect on, and refine one implemented goal from EDUX 9928. Using online video conferencing technology, the PLC will conclude by participating in a culminating coaching conversation facilitated by the course instructor that will provide a perfect face-to-face platform for self-reflection, idea sharing, and a determination about the impact of their goal implementation on their professional practice.
