#12DaysLearning Day 10 -- Give a Shout Out to a Coach Who Helped You Transform Student Learning

Thanks to @edurolearning

Day 10 -- Watch Episode 15 of the Coach. Better. podcast. Give a shout out to a coach who has helped you transform student learning.

Wow! There are so many coaches/mentors that I deserve a shout out. Some people that come to mind are Dana Watts, Kim Cofino, Chris Reitan, Dr. Larry Creedon, David Lee, Steve Katz, Ben Summerton, Chris Bernhardi, and Art Schultz. In different ways each of these individuals have help me transform student and teacher learning. I couldn't be the person I am today without the experiences I have shared with these people.

#12DaysLearning Day 9 -- What are you excited for?

Day 9 -- Watch Eduro Learning's 5 minute Friday sneak peek on Facebook. What are you excited for? What is 1 tip you have for becoming a better learning coach?

My one big tip is to be patient. Rome didn't get built in a day; you can't coach a teacher in a day; you can't change a culture in a day. That isn't to say you shouldn't try, but realize that you are in a marathon, not a sprint. Don't burn yourself out early; pace yourself. When you feel stress because things don't seem to be moving at the speed you want, stop and breath. Think of where you started as opposed to where you are today. Think about the big picture. Relax. Enjoy yourself. Be patient.

#12DaysLearning Day 7 -- Would you rather monitor a standardized test or grade a set of essays

Day 7 -- Would you rather monitor standardized tests or grade a set of essays?
First let me just say, "Eeeewwwww! Who came up with this idea? Yuck!" With that said, I was an English teacher before becoming a coach, so for me the essays are totally fine. In fact, I even enjoy grading essays to a certain degree. Furthermore, anything is better than the mind numbing job of monitoring standardized tests.

Geoff Derry (@gderry) -- I've been interacting with the guy on Twitter for years, but finally got to meet him last year at #21CLHK10. I'm really looking forward to seeing him again, because he is just a super cool guy who is doing some great stuff with AR and VR.
