This program has validated my learning philosophy and ideas about how students learn. What I lacked were the research and accurate vocabulary to describe it. Now I have them: Choice, Ownership, Voice, Authentic Learning Environments. This in no way means that I didn’t struggle with the freedoms given us as students in the COVA framework. I had never been asked to learn this way, and 50 years of sit-and-get and take the test was working against me. I relish a challenge, though, so the transition was not too bad.
My Innovation Plan is authentic. I love PBL and I’m the Club Manager on campus, so it only made sense to combine the two for my organizational change. It has been a difficult start to the year for many unforeseen reasons, so my plan is getting a slow start. I believe with patience and perseverance the vision will eventually be fully realized. In my organization, I will use COVA and CSLE principles as I am planning professional learning events. If teachers are going to embrace these methods, they must be exposed to them, as we were in this program.
