Is COETAIL for you?

Inside Early Childhood 

PANA ASAVATANA 

• I think that my greatest learning in

COETAIL was not anything specific, but more the type of thinking that has now grown to become a part of who I am as an educator. The way that I see and approach my teaching is different, and the way I reflect on each process feels much more open, creative, and adventurous. There are definitely more exciting things that lie ahead, but now I think I’ve got the right mindset to take it all on, and possibly flip things on their head if necessary. 

Inside Elementary 

JOCELYN SUTHERLAND

• My growing PLN has been another great

source of learning for me, and I am in awe of the numerous amazing projects and initiatives taking place by Coetail students and graduates. I also learnt that a paradigm shift is needed in education, and no one educator can make the shift happen on their own. We need to bond together as like-minded educators and work to change pedagogy. 

Inside Middle School 

NICKI HAMBLETON

• The greatest learning for me in the whole

process was that the students can have ownership and change your thinking and that is doesn’t matter that you don’t yet know where this is going or what the outcome may be. 

Inside High School 

MATT FRON

• Though initially skeptical,

through COETAIL I learned more about flipped learning and what it can offer. It isn’t just a tool for lecture-based lessons like math or history: it’s a way to tailor resources for students.

Inside Whole School 

SEAN WALMSLEY

• As I wind down into my final COETAIL

post and final project reflection, I can’t help but think about my own journey as an educator, my increased involvement within a PLN and, the way in which COETAIL has motivated me to solidify my educational passions and amplify my voice to a larger audience.

Inside Leadership

SHARY MARSHALL

• COETAIL has the potential to redefine

educational leadership in numerous ways, including promoting ongoing reflection and learning, connection and collaboration, and creating educators who are able to learn, unlearn, and relearn. In other words, helping us to become technologically nimble.
