“To prevent burnout and support the emotional well-being of instructional coaches, it’s important for schools to prioritize building a positive emotional culture, provide ongoing support and professional development, and ensure that coaches have clear expectations and boundaries. By creating a supportive environment, instructional coaches are more likely to thrive in their roles and make a positive impact on student learning.” ~Bharaj, et al. 2023

Weekend Ed. Quote ~ January 19 2024

“Language is not used in isolation. Language changes context to context. Without the information of the domain where it is to be used, medium and relationship with the correspondent, we cannot choose the right style of the language usage.” The Halliday (2009) model of functional language defines three key factors that determine the right style of the language: Field (topic of the context), Tenor (role and relationship of communicators), and Mode (medium of communication).” ~J. Verma, 2023

FieldTenorMode

 

 

“Context of the language can be formal or informal with three key factors: field, tenor, and mode. A user must make a choice about the right tone whether it should be formal or informal or neutral tone to make writing effective.” ~J. Verma, 2023

Weekend Ed. Quote ~ January 12 2024

“Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.”
 ~William Martin

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~ Melody Beattie

Weekend Ed. Quote ~ November 24

“Gratitude is Your Leadership Candle… Gratitude, like a candle, loses nothing of itself when shared with another, but brightens the whole environment. When a leader (proverbially) lights a candle for someone in their care, they model behavior that has a reverberating positive influence on the culture of the entire organization.” ~ Sean Schofield, Ph.D.

Gratitude for you

Thank you for your support, reading, commenting, and sharing throughout this year and always.

“What if” Answers for Graduate Assignments

What if you do not understand an online graduate assignment?

Graduate-level assignments often feature layered tasks culminating in a final learning artifact. Graduate-level assignments are connected to a specific graduate-llevel rubric.

While everyone has their own process and strategy, sometimes you may run into a particularly challenging assignment. When this happens, here are a few steps that may offer help for what to do if you don’t understand a graduate assignment.

In General: Begin earlier than you may think is necessary to preview assignment tasks.

  1. Step 1: Read the Assignment Carefully. The first step to take when you don’t understand an assignment is to re-read it carefully. With layered graduate assignments, learning research suggests repetition. For example, It is best to read an assignment a couple of times, take a short break, then return to refocus and read the assignment again. Read the assignment rubric. Point values in rubrics indicate the assignment items with the most emphasis. Focus on these items.
  2. Step 2: Check for in-class supports from Dr. Teague. Then come back and read the prompt again, keeping any of your instructor’s in-class comments in mind. Looking at your assignment with fresh eyes will often help you either eventually understand the assignment or identify what specifically is confusing to you.
  3. Step 3: Break the assignment into manageable tasks. Some folks create an outline of the tasks or follow the steps provided in assignment instructions.
  4. Step 4: Set a schedule to complete each manageable task.
  5. Step 5: Begin the task with even the smallest activity, such as reading one or more of the Class Resources, taking notes, and summarizing what you’ve read.
  6. Step 6: Research the Topic.
  7. Step 7: Check out ideas with a Classmate/Course Peer.
  8. Step 8: Check for Understanding with specific questions for the teacher or professor.
    This step is listed after all the others because waiting for a reply from busy teachers and/or professors can prolong getting started and may cause procrastination and FOGS (Fear of Getting Started).

 

What are your thoughts? What steps would you add, delete, or revise? 

All the very best cognitive wishes for the successful understanding and completion of your upcoming graduate assignment(s)!
