Self-navigation is a skill all students and professionals need today. Heidi Hayes Jacobs and Marie Alcock list it as a characteristic of a contemporary learner. Ok, but how do we actually teach it? How do we improve our performance in this area? This session begins with the story of a learning target and how it is the key to effective self navigation. Marie Alcock will share the techniques from her book The Quest for Learning: Maximizing student engagement (2017) and how to actually design learning experiences to teach self navigation. Thus, promoting student ownership and overtly teach students to navigate their own learning.
