What a beautiful learning experience this [the “Look, Listen, Interpret, Teach” course] has been! The 3-month online course was not just about reading assignments, project work, peer reflections and engaging with the book Visible Learners. It was so much more about deep learning through collaboration, reflection, and community. This experience has challenged me to raise my own standards, stay committed, and honour my work with greater purpose. What a beautiful coming together of passionate people and powerful learning.
