I just completed my graduate training requirement titled “Mental Well-Being” from getinclusive.com as required by the Dean of Students and the Student Health Center.
Reflecting on this training, I realize that everything now passes through this new learning lens. In the training there was a section on the need to unlearn. I could not help but think about all of us in the ADL Program. Aren’t we unlearning everything we previously thought about learning? Aren’t we unlearning previous expectations and measures of our learning and our students?
How is your unlearning journey going? I struggle with myself as I try to figure out the goal, objective, or expectation of a given assignment when I’m just supposed to be observing my my learning process.
I’m learning to reconnect with my inquisitive and creative mind and recognize that it takes time to break those old established learning ideas.
Change is difficult at first, but it is worth it.
