Method: Map Your Learning Partner
Overview:
This paired exercise invites learners to explore each other’s emerging visions for designing learning environments—with respect for unique backgrounds and roles.
-
Pair & Prepare:
Choose the person next to you. Agree to a five-minute exchange focused on how each envisions shaping future learning spaces, acknowledging that you’re both at the start of your journey.
-
Empathetic Portrait:
Spend two minutes sketching or jotting down a brief portrait of your partner—highlighting their strengths, interests, and any contextual factors (culture, prior experiences) that shape their outlook.
-
Three-Sentence Summary:
Take one minute to craft a concise, three-sentence statement describing how your partner imagines designing learning environments—foregrounding their values and aspirations.
-
Positional Mapping:
On a shared matrix (e.g., “Individual vs. Collaborative” and “Structured vs. Exploratory”), place your partner’s vision. This visual anchor helps surface where your approaches align or differ.
-
Respectful Recap:
Conclude by reading your summary and mapping back to your partner. Invite any clarifications, honouring their perspective and ensuring the exercise remains a mutual discovery.
