I've posted the presentation portion of this week: Professional Development . As educators, we have an opportunity (obligation?) to model the skills and mindsets we are teaching. Professional development is an important aspect of our role. Our ongoing development is critical to the "meta" learning skills we have discussed in this course: self-reflection, creative/critical thinking, deep understanding, varying aspects of learning (Bloom's) and more. While our daily teaching load often prevents time for reflection, periodic review of how we are developing ourselves is vital.
I present three broad areas for consideration in your development:
1. Your subject matter (what you teach)
2. The act of teaching itself (improving your ability to teach)
3. Understanding of tools of teaching (technology)
For your portfolio this week, please detail how you intend plan for your own development.
