Last week in our 10-Week Journaling Challenge, we reflected on our role as teachers. We looked inward to identify our motivations, strengths, and role in learning.
This week, we pivot to our learners. We try to see lessons from their perspective, from their experience. As the ol’ saying goes: One hand cannot clap.
Join us this week as we reflect on our learners. For week 2, we have a bonus RP SIG meeting on Zoom. Our guest Discussion Leader is Patrick 'Paddy' Conway.

Food for Thought
Prompt 1: Instead of just journalling student mistakes and misbehaviour, do you routinely ask yourself... am I the problem?
Prompt 2: Do you take action on the problems recorded in your journal or resign yourself to seeing them repeatedly?
