Learning from my Learning Plan...

Over the past few weeks my cohort group through Moreland University has been tasked with completing a Learning Environment Plan. Below is a segment from my reflection about completing this assignment:
“How will these strategies impact student learning and your own overall professional effectiveness as a teacher?”
I think going through this process of breaking down teaching/classroom management into an actionable plan with step-by-step instructions has forced me to consider the places and moments in my teaching that aren’t as well developed as they could or should be. I think this process takes something that can feel very subjective and makes it objective. In doing so, it allows for improvements and growth as an educator.
These assignments can feel tedious and repetitive but (when I’m being honest with myself), I know that those routines and procedures are the foundation that allows for the fun, creative, collaborative work to flourish. I’ve mentioned the work of Kryza before in my Learning Environment Plan (“we are a mistake-making, risk-taking classroom”) but another thing she said at a PD has come back to me and feels really applicable to this process. Kryza said, “go slow to go fast.” While I knew what she was referring to in the sense of a teacher teaching students, I have felt this process of creating a Learning Environment Plan for myself is doing just that, going slow to go fast.
