Surprising enough, this course was the first course in which I was expected to work with a group. It was a bit difficult to collaborate between our different schedules and varied responsibilities, but internet tools helped a great deal. And, funny enough, this was the first course in which I was expected to coach someone. At first I was quite nervous to coach a peer, but it worked out really well.
We were expected to read a book by Jim Knight on coaching. I had never heard of him, but I loved his book. It really cleared up the coaching process and made it so that I felt like I knew what was expected of me. In October my school hosted the Tri-Association Conference. This conference was a huge event for international schools all over latin America. And, Jim Knight held several sessions on coaching and using film for improving instruction. It was awesome!
I learned quite a lot in this course, while not much of it pertained to technology, a ton of what I learned is super helpful to me as an instructional coach. The techniques and the skills I learned will help me be a more effective coach.
