Who Will Be Your Learning Partner?
You could use this table to find a colleague with the right qualities to be a successful learning partner.
Consider your colleagues: who you think you would work well with? Look at the qualities listed on the table and assess how many of them you think they have. More than five and they should be a suitable, positive partner to help develop your teaching practice. It is worth noting which of these qualities you have, alongside any you might need to work on yourself.
| helpful | approachable |
| keen to improve their own practice | motivated |
| patient | encouraging |
| enthusiastic | conscientious |
| supportive | determined |
| self-reflective | will keep you on track |
| available | a good listener |
| observant | responsible |
For each Teach2030 course, you can either remain with the same person or change your learning partner. Try to stay with the same person for a full course though. The more activities you complete together, the stronger your relationship will become. This will lead you to being more honest and open with each other, which will only improve both of your teaching practices further.
