Connected Coaching: Self Assessment

Now that the Connected Coaching Course is coming to an end we were asked to reflect and self-assess ourselves. In the beginning of the course, I created a simple learning contract. I had almost forgotten about these questions that I had assigned myself in the beginning....

Have I been an active participant in the online discussions and webinars?

• I think I was, it took me a while to speak out in the actual webinars, but as I started feeling more comfortable with the content and my colleagues I started to speak up more. I tried to participate in all discussions on the discussion boards and responded whenever someone commented on my post. I think I could have engaged with other participants though and responded to their individual posts more often.

What new knowledge/skills have I gained? And do I feel confident in my understanding of it?

• I learned a great deal from this course!
• active listening
• paraphrasing
• questioning
• utilizing protocols to bring groups together and help them move forward
• Connected Coaching Wayfinding
• Webinar ideas that I can incorporate into the classes that I will be teaching

In what ways have I incorporated my knowledge of educational technology?

• For me, I think it has been incorporated throughout because that is how I have approached everything. I started this course because I wanted to develop more skills to support teachers as they transform their teaching. I think that definitely includes the concept of educational technolog and TPACK. 

Have I had an opportunity to apply my new skills yet? If so, how did it go?

• I have posted a few messages in the PLP lite community, I found it challenging to jump in. I wonder if it would have been easier if we had been with them from the beginning, because I almost felt like I was walking in on a conversation and didn't want to step on any toes or ask a question that had already been addressed. 
• I enjoyed practicing my new skills when we had a chance to verbally practice with colleagues during our webinars. It was definitely a safe environment to practice our new skills.

The rest of my reflection....
