Learning Specialist Toolbox

Whether you are working in education, business, or health care, principles of learning will assist you in your professional work. For your Signature Assignment in this course you will prepare a Learning Specialist toolbox. Your Toolbox will be a collection of learning principles, tools and tips that you have gathered throughout the course that will be useful to you in your professional career.

Review the resources you gathered throughout the course, guidelines, quotes, resources, lists, questionnaires, surveys, personal learning products, and other material to use in your current and future work. (As an alternative, you may choose to include learning tips and tools that would be useful in various types of psychology career tracks.) As you review the resources you have gathered for your toolbox, you may wish to change or polish your initial organization of your toolbox. You want your Learning Specialist Toolbox to be well organized. You may include references and resources that you used in preparing your activities, or other resources that relate to the course topics but which you did not use in your assignments. Some resources that may have looked interesting at first may not seem useful at this point. You may also want to search for additional material to flesh out some of the sections of the toolbox. Be sure to include your own learning products that you developed in this course, if appropriate.

For each resource in your toolbox, write a 1-2 paragraph description and identify how it can be used. Your toolbox should include at least 15 entries, as well as a reference list.

Length: 7-10 pages
