(And making learning visible)
In the prologue chapter of our OER Text Book, we will explore the why of getting into education. An important part of our work is our own identities as teachers, content experts, and beyond. We have specific identities that our students may not. How will this impact our work?
Why are we wanting to be teachers? What do we privilege when we think about our student's learning? How have our conceptual frames around learning and teaching changed throughout this program. What is an important thing to keep in mind for future students getting to this point in the program.
