Shoes that were Made for Walking Betsy Allen Attention: We were just made aware of the fact that the link to confirm your Creative Teaching e-Zine subscription link in the e-Zine we sent out on 2-21 is not working. Please use this link to confirm your subscription.
At some point during the class you ask learners to find their “sole mate”—the person in the room whose shoe size is closest to their own. On an 8½ x 11 piece of paper, each learner traces their shoe. Using the page where their soul mate traced their foot, learners capture how, when and where they intend to “walk” (or behave) differently as a result of the class. Toward the end of class, sole mates exchange papers and agree to mail the “shoes that were made for walking” back to them in 30, 60 or 90 days. The assignment then includes emailing the instructor to share where they have “walked their talk” and truly applied the new knowledge.
