Learning with each other, in another way

Abstract

I have been CÉGEP Garneau’s Pedagogical Counsellor since 2013. I coach professors throughout their careers, providing professional and personal development that also includes feedback related to their teaching abilities, as assessed by students. Over three years, some 7,000 students’ comments were gathered. My specific role is to assist professors in terms of self-reflection by creating a space where they feel free to express themselves and enrich their teaching practice. One day a literature professor asked me if I had completed an assessment of my own professional practices, and what my areas of development would be. This article is something of a response to that question.
