One of The Lounge participants, Stacy Slabaugh, recently commented in a blog, regarding one of the CEE courses she completed, "...helps keep me as an instructor reminded of my responsibilities toward my students instead of getting lost on the students' responsibilities to my class." This started me thinking about what we call the "learning partnership."
Indeed, adult learners and their instructors should create learning partnerships where outcomes are identified and responsibilities, on both the student's and instructor's parts, are clearly defined, aligned and communicated.
As Faculty Coaches, I would be interested in hearing any comments or observations about perceptions of a "learning partnership." What does it mean from your experience?
