COMPETENCIES
The Establishing a Learning Community pathway includes adult learning competencies that focus on building a safe, collaborative and nurturing learning environment.
This pathway focuses on learning how to develop one’s own attitudes, beliefs and practices that fosters an environment of learning for all students regardless of their individual and cultural differences.
I can use varied sources of information (natural roles, culture, interests, strengths, challenges) about learners in order to establish a safe and supportive culture of learning, collaboration and acceptance.
See Alignments BelowI can use high impact strategies, routines and common language as well as knowledge of student profiles (culture, skills/needs, career and other interests, etc.) to foster a student-directed learning community that empowers student curiosity and encourages academic and social-emotional risks.
See Alignments BelowI can acknowledge student differences in order to build a culturally responsive environment that develops student awareness of their own cultural lenses and the ability to respect the varied experiences of their peers.
