In this final episode of season 2 we are going to look how we can continue our magical journeys as life-long learners or what I like to call the Dumbledore Effect. Think of how much time Dumbledore spent at Hogwarts and all his wizardry adventures to learn to become an extraordinary wizard but what was so special about him was that he continued to learn and passed on his knowledge to all those that passed through Hogwarts. Educational wizards, our magical journeys can only continue and it is vital that we participate in anyway we can to learn for our little wizards. In this episode we are going to dig into building and continuing our professional learning communities and networks and how we can become leaders, coaches, and mentors that promote a personalized learning growth.
