I am from India, this course was a good opener for me as I am a teacher for special children, yes patience is the world but the interesting part is it makes me want to learn more and the way to teach these special kids and try to create new ideas as to how i can make it happen.

This was a very useful and challenging course for me. I have had the opportunity to learn very interesting concepts such as spiral of inquiry, growth mindset, grit and assessment for learning! Thanks a lot for this course and your effort and passion put into developing it!

Really a fantastic course with a great purpose, organization, and motivation. The hosts were great and made the course practical as well as theoretical. Thank you!

This course has been the most difficult one for me in Coursera. This maybe partly due to my background which lacks of related knowledge.

John mentioned Lao Tsz's idea at the end of interview, which is a surprise to me. The original text is like this ""...，功成事遂，百姓皆谓我自然。 ". Translation might be "..., Once accomplished, people always say this is natural for themself.）

This is a great Connection & Extend for me! LaoTze also mentioned something about curiosity. I have never thought about the connection between LaoTze and Teaching & Learning. This is a great gift from John.

Thanks John! Thanks Judy and Linda. I love the concepts and mindsets you demonstrated all through the course.

The course “Foundations of Teaching for Learning: Planning for Teaching and Learning” offers an insightful exploration of the critical elements involved in effective teaching and lesson planning. Whether you're a new educator or a seasoned professional, this course provides invaluable resources and strategies to enhance your understanding of planning as a dynamic and integral part of the teaching process.

This course serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of proper planning, ongoing inquiry, and teacher reflection. It supports the development of both pedagogical confidence and professional curiosity through teacher professional learning. This course would be helpful to any educator seeking to enhance their planning practices and deepen their understanding of effective teaching and learning.

This course was eye opening. Cohesive with all the other courses I have taken in the specialization and it has helped me to expand my thinking and evolve my approach to teaching and learning. The teachers were great! Their depth of experience and love of teaching came through in their lectures. Also, their partnership is encouraging.

Cette formation m'a plongée dans de nombreuses recherches, solides et tout-a fait transférables . Il est primordial de ne plus travailler seul, isolé dans ses croyances et avec ses anciennes compétences. Le monde va vite, nous sommes et resterons des étudiants. Continuous, life-learning education. Un grand merci à ce programme.

The best ever MOOC for the depth and breath of its reflective - metacognitive approach to planning. Congratulation to the teaching team. Suggestion : As it is about learning for young people and the teachers, any further development of the course could expand to include adult learning.
