Check-In: Horizon Compass
This opening ritual supports educators and students in centering growth, respectful exchange, and shared commitments before a course begins.
-
Opening Reflection (example prompt; replaceable):
“What personal insight or skill are you most eager to develop on this learning journey?”
-
Embrace Growth Potential:
Each participant shares one reason this experience is a chance to learn from everyone—highlighting that all backgrounds and roles bring valuable knowledge.
-
Honour Unique Perspectives:
Invite each person to name an aspect of their identity or experience that will shape their engagement—so every viewpoint informs the group from the outset.
-
Appreciate the Process:
Ask participants to identify one phase of the upcoming work (e.g., collaboration, experimentation, reflection) they value, reinforcing that growth involves both successes and challenges.
-
Record & Revisit:
Co-create two or three guiding principles (e.g., “Listen with curiosity,” “Elevate unheard ideas”) and display them—on a shared slide or whiteboard photo—so the group can return to these commitments at key milestones.
