Smart Workers are Actually Smart

Reflections on lesson 1.2

 

In this edition of my blog I will try to focus on answering the following questions and share with you some of my progress so far concerning this level.

1. Do you feel you are a smarter worker/learner?
2. What makes you say that?
3. What next steps do you need to take to achieve your professional learning goal?

I can now gladly say that I am a Smart Worker because

(i)                 I have got to recognize that learning is a continuous process; even at work place, learning still takes place;

(ii)               Even my job especially this season of end of year examinations with busy and tight schedules has not stopped me from learning CCTI courses;

(iii)             At first, I used to care less about when the performance indicators of what I do would come, but now, I’ve got to know the outcome of the indicators as soon as the problems are identified. I give no time lag.

(iv)             I now have a group with whom I would love to share what I know with them, isn’t being smart, especially when there is trustworthiness?

(v)               Above all, I now enjoy technology like never before! This even makes me smarter.

(vi)             I am always ready to improve on the weakness I have identified.

However, the professional learning goals will be according to the following set steps

(i)                 define a clear set of goals based on the rigorous analysis of the information available;

(ii)               provide work-embedded learning to share new knowledge and skills more specifically through technology related programs;

(iii)             implement coherent, sustained, and evidenced-based learning strategies that easily improves instructional effectiveness and learner achievement;

(iv)             regularly assess the effectiveness of the professional development in achieving identified learning goals;

(v)               make improvements on defects identified on spot.

Now to be specific in this lesson, I found it so interesting to visit some websites and interact with guys on their blogs elsewhere outside Africa performing similar learning styles yet in different approach. It is so beautiful for me to be part of this amazing adventure.

Ciao!
