Project Description:
Habits of both personal and professional practice are a catalyst for continuously improving your craft as a teacher and feeling confident and in control of your life. Join the authors of Habits of Resilient Educators (Corwin Press, 2024), to engage in an interactive experience around habits of practice that meet modern educators where they are: employed in a field at the intersection of mundanity and sainthood.
Through guided activities participants will apply practices from the research-based habits in their own classroom and collaboratively reflect with peers. Cohorts will meet twice monthly with the instructor, Lindsay Prendergast, for reflection and action planning. Participants will:
- Examine the habit of establishing and upholding high expectations for all students, across all areas of teaching.
- Explore biases and academic identities that influence teaching practice as well as student learning experiences.
- Learn, implement and share strategies to proactively approach feedback experiences with a purpose, engage intentionally with others, and apply feedback. Recognize connections between feedback, self-efficacy, and impact on student learning.
- Examine the connection between prioritization skills and teacher agency. Recognize common challenges (initiative overload, lack of positional authority), root causes, and indicators. Learn and practice responsive prioritization strategies.
- Identify root causes of negative influences. Learn skills for navigating causes effectively (norms, communication skills, sharing responsibility for student learning, etc.).
- Ground learning in personal goals to enhance your well-being, cultivate agency, and attain utmost impact on student learning
