This activity proved to be quite an interesting one since I had to consider my right as a learner. It clearly provided me with the opportunity to halt and think deeply and critically as a learner. In doing this and subsequently reviewing the rights submitted by my colleagues in the collaborative exercise, it raised a thought provoking question as to how many of us as educators, really take the time out to actually put ourselves in the place of the learners when carrying out our duties on a daily basis. It is my humble belief that if this becomes part of our modus operandi, the teaching and learning process will be substantially enhanced.
The sponsoring of one item from the collaborative exercise to the learners' charter, gave me the opportunity to critically examine each submission from my colleagues with different variations of the rights as a learner. It is heart warming to note the benefits of collaboration as it effectively contributes to the development of such a significant and meaningful document.
