Face 2 Face Sessions

My best learning experience

Written by graemecasson

c21_logo_mediumWelcome to you Cohort 21 Blog. This journal is an integral part of your Cohort 21 experience. Here you will reflect, share , collaborate  and converse as you move through the C21 Action Plan process. 

This is your first post and an opportunity to share a little bit about yourself as a learner and leader. Please respond the to the following prompts below:

1) Reflect on your own personal learning journey and K-12 education. Identify one learning experience that you can point to as having made a significant impact on some element of your own growth and development. It could be that teacher and subject that really sparked significant growth or a trip that opened your eyes to a whole new world or way of thinking or a non-catastrophic failure that you learned so much from.  Briefly describe the learning experience and identify the various supports, structures, mindsets and relational ingredients that were put in place by the teacher or facilitator that directly contributed to your growth and success. 

when i was in grade 4 through eight i had a teacher named mr fully

i am sure that its not how you spell his name but i never learned how to spell it

he was understanding of my inability to read or right and instead focus on my abilities to build and talk

he showed me that just because you are week in some areas does not mean you are not capable

2) What is the one Learning skill (MOE) or Approach to Learning (IB ATL) that you feel is MOST important in this day and age? How do you intentionally build it into your curriculum and develop it in your students throughout the year?

i have no idea what an moe is do you realize that was a 162 pages

in two pages was too much to read well

the closest thing to do to curriculum is playing dungeons & dragons with the kids

i use the time to have them work together to solve problems i try and let the kids run as much as the game they can from organizing the rules we will play with two them dming the game

3) Insert an image below that best captures the essence of that Learning Skill or ATL. (Click on the “Helpful WordPress Video Tutorials” link in the left hand sidebar to learn how to insert it)

  2. Hi Graeme! I’m SO excited you are part of Cohort 21 this year, and I can’t wait to chat and hang with you again. See you soon!

  3. @graemecasson Welcome aboard! The MOE doc is the Ministry of Education “Growing Success” document. No you did not have to read it 🙂 I just wanted to reference it as that is where the “Learning Skills” I was referring to are housed.
    It sounds like you value “collaboration” as an important skill for your students to learn and you build it through play based activities like D & D.

    I would like to introduce you to your Action Plan support team:

    See you soon on October 5th!
