Stretch our Minds
We all need new ideas to spark our curiosities and wonderings. It's part of continually developing as individuals and being part of a professional learning network. I'm continuously having aha moments as I engage in discussions with other people, observe the world around me, and take time to reflect and connect ideas together. This is a process that helps us to grow not only as educators, but as human beings on this planet.
Works of Inspirational Educators
As you delve further into your own development of learner-driven practices, take it slowly. There are many resources in the marketplace about agency, inquiry, and concept-driven learning. Be sure to choose resources based on research and the expertise of industry experts such as, Kath Murdoch, Dr. Lynn Erickson, Jo Fahey, Ron Ritchhart, Mark Church, John Hattie, just to name a few. These thought leaders have helped to shape my practice and I hope they do the same for you.
