Mosaic:
A Formation Tool for Teacher Development
It's rare to have this level of direct connection with the developers of educational technology, and it speaks volumes about their commitment to getting it right. " "
I can see exactly where my trainee is progressing well and where they might need additional guidance. It's made my mentoring more precise and effective. " Having all my evidence mapped against the standards helps me to identify my strengths and areas for growth, which made my conversations with my mentor much more productive. "

“Teaching is not simply some-thing done to students, but a practice lived with them, an apprenticeship of both knowledge and character. "
Adaptability builds trust, and trust is the hidden architecture of learning. ” “

To teach is to lead a child”
Teaching with the Mind in Mind
“understanding the science of learning can help us navigate a classroom full of diverse learners”
By paying attention to extraneous load - the unnecessary noise that clutters learning - we can become more intentional and strategic about presentation and lesson design. ”
The impact is clear: less confusion, more focus, and greater retention of knowledge. ”
When classrooms are designed with the mind in mind, the difference is tangible: students learn more, retain more, and feel less overwhelmed. ”
Cognitive Load Theory isn’t about dumbing things down - it’s about ensuring students have the cognitive space to rise to the challenge. ”

An Immersive Look Into Insight Sessions
The Author
“ As the session concludes, some trainees dart onto the next thing, but many linger. Patrick vents about the readings in his theology course. Triss checks-in with everyone, making certain that they’ve RSVP’d for the upcoming social week. Connie inquires about that show you’re both watching. As you chat, you both slowly stroll out of Town Hall. ”
Strangers in my village? I don’t think so!
The Author
“He (Reuben) continues to deeply reflect on discipline strategies and ways to engage the members of the class; he is honing his knowledge and the craft of teaching; but Reuben is also refining me – my pedagogical practice, my perspectives on how to be an educator and how I share my Christian example.
”
Reuben always reflects, repositions and plans to improve. He aims to learn on the journey and not obstruct his own growth. ”
God’s work is not yet done and we must continue with passion to see His light shine to our communities through successful training, mentoring and preparing of teachers. I, for one, am all in. ”
