This past year, I learned of Cohort 21 from a teacher at my school.\u00a0 The ideas that he was bringing to the classroom were\u00a0unique and creative.\u00a0\u00a0It was inspiring to see the work that was being done through\u00a0collaboration between multiple people across the province at the Cohort 21 conferences and on Google Hangout.\u00a0\u00a0Near the end of the year, I\u00a0attended the GLACIE<\/a> conference in Toronto and learned again that cooperative and collaborative learning fosters deep engagement within my colleagues and students.\u00a0 Last year was my ‘Ah ha’ moment in professional development and teaching.\u00a0 It was the first time I saw\u00a0just how important and meaningful collaboration really is and I have since reflected and changed the ways I learn and teach.<\/p>\n

I am\u00a0lucky to work with a fairly supportive and collaborative\u00a0staff as well.\u00a0 I collaborate daily with my co-teacher and others who are teaching the same course.\u00a0 It has enriched my lessons, motivated me, and my students are benefiting resulting in better achievement and learning. I am looking forward to this year\u00a0at Cohort 21 as it is a truly unique professional development opportunity for teachers who are seeking to build a learning network amongst staff and\u00a0other CIS Ontario member schools. The Cohort 21 community\u00a0is built on a foundation of collaboration and innovation and\u00a0we will investigate and refine 21st century teaching and learning best practices through the rich experience of \u201clearning by doing\u201d.<\/p>\n
