Overview:
How do we teach students to become self-navigating and engaged in their own learning journey? Acknowledging that these are learned competencies, our focus will be on strategies to cultivate learners who can self-direct, self-monitor, and self-assessment. Motivation is central to support our right-now learners to be confident and capable in the future. Our sessions will focus on three areas:
  1. Motivating and guiding our learners through personalized quest-based learning and

  2. Methods and strategies to help our learners become self-navigators and self- monitors in both traditional curriculum as well as their own projects and

  3. Developing a long term personalized digital portfolio to collect their work. Specific attention to self-regulation, self-motivation, and the ability to self-assess will underscore our workshop.
