Part 1: I continued to look at the same framework this week which is the Three E’s by Liz Kolb. A strong framework that focuses on the if the given technology is worth using. I feel like this has been great because what to use is so integral at every level of person within education. Going up the ladder on ISTE these are important questions for student, educators, educator leaders and coaches. In this online course we will be building it will be extremely important to introduce them to the questions that pertain to them, the educator. Looking at the different options they have when looking into whether it enhances, engages, or extends. As far as the research article, it looks more into the role between a supervising teacher, and a teacher who is being observed. It doesn’t have anything to do with the Triple E framework (besides that they share a last name), or even technology really. However, in this scenario as a “coach” it can be helpful! My person who I made the smart goal for would be the ideal person to take this course.
Part 2: When looking at someone who might be working their way through an online course in an asynchronous way, I think cognitive coaching is super important. My biggest take away from the article on cognitive coaching was about becoming a learner who can not only get through the content but self-assess how their own learning is going. This is great for another part which is setting your own personal goals. Even when goals aren’t as big or all-encompassing like the smart goal I made with this person. Simply recognizing something you’re struggling with is a great first step, while using something like the triple E asks good questions of yourself that make you really think on how you could change it. I know personally I have almost too many options, and the triple E gives me a way to break down where my students time is best spent. I think as a coach I would really want to dive into the states of mind from the cognitive coaching article. I think this is really good because when you can identify which ones you excel and struggle in, you are more likely to be able to identify that in students.
Part 3: I think the most important thing you would be doing here as a coach is 4.1.a, being a change agent. Jumping into asynchronous course building a goal setting is jumping into work that will fundamentally change the way a teacher teaches. To do that, means you should originally know what they excel in or need to grow in. The research article given by David Kolb gives great insight on how to really look and see If this teacher really needs to change something. Another ISTE standard would be as always be, 4.7.c which is evaluating online content. This is the essential mission of triple e framework by Liz Kolb. The ISTE essential conditions tie in extremely well with triple e framework. The framework looks at Is the technology good, while the essential conditions look at are you implementing them effectively. This goes into things I have wrote about before on the difference of getting that sixty minutes a week on something versus the program taking on the roll of teacher.
