Personal Pedagogy Program
Resources
Outlines
of the 5 Sessions
5
Short Learning Sessions...
In the initial phase of this
program, we will share 5 short face-to-face seminars supported by a number
of on-line resources and reference materials for you to access in your own
time.
The concept of personal
pedagogy can cover a lot of different things. For me, session content and
focus is on you, not your specific teaching practices things like
personal mastery, social and emotional teacher intelligence (SETI),
connecting in classrooms, mindfulness, creating constructive cultures.
Here's
an outline of the proposed content of each of the 5 after-school seminar

Aims of PPP...
The PPP will really be driven
by you personally. What you take away from each of the face-to-face
sessions and decide to try-out as a result from it, will be up to you.
You will identify your own learning paths, goals, activities, improvement
actions and milestones, as we progress through the sessions.
I hope the program provides
opportunities for you to do some of these things:
|
Think about what unique gifts,
strengths and talents you bring to your teaching practice
|
|
Reflect on your own
pedagogical style and approach and how it helps achieve the learning
outcomes our students want and the teacher 'excellence' factors LHC looks
for
|
|
Strengthen or rediscover your
fascination and passion to improve your personal pedagogy
|
|
Re-imagine how your classrooms
could operate, lessons unfold and your students engage
|
|
Enhance your personal mastery,
mindfulness and social and emotional intelligence
|
|
Identify ways to be more
present, authentic, mindful and engaged in your classrooms
|
|
Think of ways to cultivate
more student-focus and engagement that inspires innovation and achievement
and nurtures student aspirations
|
|
Feel calmer, happier, more
emotionally balanced and better centred in their classrooms
|
|
Self-managing and empower
themselves to map out their own PP learning goals
|
|
Challenge your mental models
of personal pedagogy and how they affect outcomes you get
|
|
Contemplate your role and
contribution as a creator and custodian of our culture
|
|
Think about how you apply
Lourdes teaching and learning principles in your classrooms
|
|
Pre-read and post-session articles, self assessments and self-reflection
activities
|
|
Each session underpinned by a self-coaching/goal-setting model for those
interested
|
|
Each session followed with optional self-assessment inventories and
goal-setting tool
|
|
Self-coaching guides for each session (on-line/PDF) with key topics and
tools built up progressively over the 5 sessions
|
|
Pre-recorded sessions/pod-casts/slideshows to watch afterwards

reflection/try-out actions
