A Unique Pedagogical Initiative

Cognizant of the unique strengths of each learner and areas within which improvement is attainable, it's important that our leaning journey is data-informed yet student-focused always. Incorporating reflective exercises like this and creating frequent ´10-second sub-plans´ will direct us better towards adopting best pedagogical practices.

PROVIDED ASSIGNMENT DIRECTIONS: Outline and write a letter to yourself two years from now. You can write about whatever you wish, but try to address topics you are confident will engage your future self. When you finish your letter, seal it into the provided envelope and address it. I will put a stamp on it and mail it two years from now. No one will read the letter before it is mailed and the school will destroy letters that are returned (to keep your secrets safe). Please address it to a person you are certain will still be at their address in two years. Fill out and hand in the outlining activity to receive credit (after all, I won’t be able to read your actual, sealed letter!)
