How do teachers, parents, paraprofessionals and other working with children help those students develop self-directed learning [SDL] skills? How can we help students plan for and reach their potential? I built and co-facilitate this course [within Moodle] to teach the skills necessary for developing 21st century habits of mind.
Participants learn to:
- Negotiate student learning contracts
- Teach independent thinking skills
- Motivate and empower students
- Become fabulous coaches
- Build an ePortfolio
There is so much more to learn by participating in this course. Come hear me and Meg Robbins give a one-hour presentation: Motivating students to becoming self-directed learners. MassCUE 2011.
