<p>We believe that your learning experience in this course will be most powerful if you can take it with others in your school or community in a <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>learning circle</strong></span>. We’ve created the <strong><a href="/assets/courseware/v1/5030085348be9deffa19d7c51c2307f1/asset-v1:MITx+0.501x+2T2019+type@asset+block/EGF_Facilitator_sGuide_FINAL.pdf" target="[object Object]">Envisioning the Graduate of the Future Facilitator's Guide</a></strong> to give you the tools you need to lead a learning circle.</p>
<h3>What is a learning circle?</h3>
<p>A <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>learning circle</strong></span> is a facilitated, in-person study group for learners who are all registered in Envisioning the Graduate of the Future.</p>
<h3>Why form a learning circle?</h3>
<p>This course asks you to reflect on large, important questions about the purpose of high school and expectations for graduates. This reflection is best done with others who know and understand your context and can provide varied and valuable perspectives. Your learning circle can provide you encouragement, support, diverse perspectives, and more.</p>
<h3>How will my peers benefit from joining a learning circle?</h3>
<p>No one knows your school or context better than the people who work there, and asking your colleagues to join you in taking this course is one step toward sparking further exploration and reflection on the purpose of high school. We encourage you to be bold and reach out (feel free to use the email/social media templates in the Facilitator's Guide). You might be surprised who responds!</p>
<h3>What materials can help us create powerful learning circles? </h3>
<p>We’ve created the <a href="/assets/courseware/v1/5030085348be9deffa19d7c51c2307f1/asset-v1:MITx+0.501x+2T2019+type@asset+block/EGF_Facilitator_sGuide_FINAL.pdf" target="[object Object]">Envisioning the Graduate of the Future Facilitator's Guide</a> to give you the tools you need to lead a learning circle. This guide has suggested discussion topics and activities for meetings, but<strong> we encourage your learning circle to interact with the course in the ways that seem most valuable and productive for your needs.</strong> The way in which your learning circle engages with the course is entirely up to you. </p>
<p>The Facilitator’s Guide has ideas and strategies for working collaboratively, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Text for keeping participants organized</li>
<li>Suggested schedules for meetings throughout the course and suggested agenda for those meetings</li>
<li>Questions to prompt discussions about course content</li>
<li>Strategies for making assignments and activities more collaborative</li>
</ul>
<h3>Wondering who to invite to participate in a learning circle? </h3>
<p>Due to the collaborative nature of creating a graduate profile, we recommend thinking of many perspectives to engage in your school or community, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Teachers and administrators</li>
<li>Other professionals in your school or organization, like the school secretary, nurse, or counselors</li>
<li>Student leaders, like members of the student government or a principal's advisory council</li>
<li>Families of students, like members of the Parent Teacher's Association </li>
<li>Members of your local school board</li>
</ul>

<p>In this course, we have shifted the emphasis away from grades. What's important is the effort you put in and the experiences you have. We want to promote a spirit of inquiry, experimentation, action, and reflection. These things don't lend themselves to automated evaluation, but benefit greatly from discussion and reflection. For this reason, the course has you focus on reflections in your journal, sharing with your trusted peers when possible, and the honor system.</p>
<h3>Ways to Write and Share</h3>
<ul>
<li>Each unit has <strong>assignments</strong>. We'll ask you to provide feedback to your peers and you'll also receive feedback from them. Because each assignment contributes to your overall work in the course, it is helpful for your peers to have access to assignments other than the one they are providing feedback on. <strong>We recommend that you keep all of your assignments together in Google Drive, <a href="https://padlet.com/" target="_blank">Padlet</a>, or some other site that allows you to share multiple files. </strong></li>
<li>There will be <strong>activities</strong> in each unit. You'll do or try something and we invite you to share your thoughts in your journal or with your trusted colleagues. </li>
</ul>

<h3>Completion Checklists</h3>
<p>At the end of each part's content, there will be a Completion Checklist for you to keep track of completed activities and assignments. There are no deadlines for the completion checklists. The more you do, the more you will get out of the course, but you should also feel free to tailor your experience in the course to your own interests and goals. There is no certificate available for this course.</p>
