In completing the course work and assignments for this course, I have gained the knowledge and skills to develop and lead meaningful professional learning opportunities for other teachers. Completing the GAPPS analysis helped me realize the different areas and aspects of professional learning and the amount that teachers should be receiving. It is important to make a detailed plan when it comes to scheduling professional learning in order for teachers to implement new strategies with fidelity.
Becoming an instructional coach can be challenging and there is often a struggle changing fellow teachers mindsets. However, this course has taught me many strategies on how to build relationships and mutual respect, which is critical to effective instructional coaching.
Moreover, leading a workshop for teacher over technology was very demanding and challenging. Creating an engaging and time effective workshop is very hard to do but through taking this course I know I was more prepared. Coaching another teacher was also beneficial as I got to implement strategies that I had learned about such as the partnership method and modeling. Completing this experience has prepared me to hopefully become an instructional coach in the near future.
