Example of: Microlearning

Problem: New teacher mentors need to be able to shift from a consulting role of "putting out fires" to a coaching role, guiding mentees toward self-directed learning. When problems arise mentors often jump towards solution thinking prematurely. Many mentor training programs lack the tools and resources mentors need to facilitate coaching conversations, leading to frustration in both mentors and mentees and higher turn-over rates.

Solution: This microlearinng coruse is designed to introduce mentors to a conversation framework they can use to facilitate problem-solving conversations with their mentees. Learners will learn more about the three main components of the conversation framework and engage in a pulse-check assessment with a call to action at the end of the course. This microcourse is designed in 7Taps, a microlearning platform that is user friendly, accessible and ideal for just in time learning. This is a concept project demonstrating how microlearning can be used to support deeper learning.

Example of: Job Aid

Problem: New teacher mentors are often placed in a consulting role, "putting out fires" and solving problems with mentees. It can be easy to provide a quick solution or resource, but the ultimate goal is to guide the mentee toward self-directed learning through targeted coaching. Many mentor training programs lack the tools and resources mentors can use to facilitate coaching conversations, leading to frustration in both mentors and mentees and higher turn-over rates.

Solution: These job aids are designed to help new teacher mentors facilitate problem-solving conversations with their mentees, moving away from "putting out fires" toward providing the mentee with the tools they need to effectively solve problems on their own. The conversation mat provides a conversation framework with sentence stems and scaffolds to support mentors in guiding the mentee toward self-directed learning by asking targeted questions and using cognitive coaching principles. This is a concept project demonstrating how job aids can be utilized to support deeper learning.
