8.0 – Module 8 Overview
Click the following link to get started:
You’ve worked very hard over the past four instructional weeks. Very hard. We hope that you have been challenged, that you have stretched, and that you have come to fully embrace the idea of the “growth mindset.” As we bring this experience to a close, Professor Andrea Guillaume will guide you in reflecting on your experience. You will then have the opportunity to craft your own, personalized growth plan. You’ll also have the opportunity to support one of your colleagues by providing feedback on their personal growth plan. Finally, we’ll also ask you to share one way that you will connect and contribute to your professional learning community until we meet again in the fall for a follow-up web conference with Professor Guillaume!
Module 8 Learning Targets
- I can reflect on my growth as a distance learning/online language instructor.
- I can develop a plan for my continued professional growth.
- I can provide actionable, supportive feedback to a colleague on their growth plan.
