Late in 2020, we saw the release of the 2nd Edition of the Educator Competencies for Personalized, Learner-Centered Teaching.
Couple of observations….👀
First, a human-centered thread is obvious. Instead of focusing solely on the technical requirements of teaching, we see important human-centered mindsets reflected in the Intrapersonal Domain (Need to Reflect)
* Dedication to all learners, especially those historically marginalized and least served.
* Embrace the learner-centered vision for teaching and learning
* Engage in practices of persistence and growth mindset.
* Dedication to lifelong learning and professional growth.
* Practice and model self-care.
Second, in the Instructional Domain, we see many of the elements of powerful learning shared in earlier posts. There is more and more agreement on the elements learner-centered learning models need to embrace.
* Embrace a mastery approach to learning.
* Use assessment tools and data for learning.
* Customize learning experiences.
* Prioritize student agency and ownership.
* Prioritize authentic, real-world learning that takes place anytime and anywhere.
If how we redefine the role of the teacher is of interest to you in this new human-centered paradigm, be sure to explore the competencies along with the indicators of success and accompanying resources that bring this important work to life!
