Support for 2020-21

To follow up on my presentation on Wednesday, here is a summary of the means of interaction and the levels of support you can have with me this year. I will set a short 10-minute meeting with you soon to discuss your starting point for this year. Remember that our interactions can revolve around tech integration, assessment, project-based learning, or any combination of these.

Means of Interaction

Consulting – Increase your knowledge or upskill your tech integration skills, assessment practices and other needs to support teaching and learning.  

Collaboration –  Co-teaching or co-planning of units or learning activities in new contexts or with new tech tools to form ideas, approaches or solutions for teaching and learning.

Cognitive Coaching –  Enhance and habituate self-directed learning in any context to transform effectiveness in teaching and learning.

Levels of Support

Jogger – General Check-ins (Walk-in during prep period); address questions and needs on a just-in-time basis; potential for deeper support; mostly consulting.

Runner – Scheduled, short-term planning or assistance with units or activities (behind-the-scenes and/or in-class); potential for deeper support; collaboration and/or deeper consulting.
