Craft your Learning Plan for next school year
What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hoursClass Experience
Learners! Let's discover what makes you feel excited about life and learning, what you're curious about, what you're interested in doing MORE of, and HOW you want to go about exploring it. Together, we'll engage in a fun and creative process to get in touch with your learning desires: We'll design a inspiring visual map for your future learning based on YOUR interests and dreams. The best place to begin learning is with your heart's desires! In this class, the learner will be presented with questions that will help them to map out their main interests and their preferred ways to go about learning them. The class combines introspection as well as some interaction to co-inspire and generate ideas between teacher-learner and learner to learner. Each learner will finish with a visual draft of ideas for self-directed/parent-supported learning for the future. Learners (and/or parents) are encouraged, after class, to create a "good copy" of their visual learning map for display through the term. Some families enjoy a follow-up with me in a one-on-one session to set specific learning goals and details of their learning path for the term. Learners and parents may sign up for "Self-Directed Learning Support" for regular guidance and encouragement in relation to Learning Plan goals, to map out new directions, explore resource ideas and to more deeply understand personal learning styles and approaches in order to move towards healthy, empowered life-long learning.
