Along with this folder was a file that we used to help organise meeting times "Collaboration Plan Organiser" and another file "Learning Outcomes" which was where each group member cou...

This Learning Agreement serves as a template which documents the expectations and responsibilities of all parties involved in the completion of the practice-based change project learning component of the Mather's of Contemporary Education programme. Importantly, the Learning Agreement anchors the development of the intended practice-based project to our learning journey. This Learning Agreement also links our learning to the Project Groups projects that we collaborate on.

The Scope Components are the building blocks for the planned Project Scope. The Project Scope is the overall plan for my Practice-based Change Project that I am to implement in Part 3 and are informed by Contemporary Teaching, Digital Fluency, Leadership in Practice and Collaboration in Practice.    Each of the Scope Components focuses on an important aspect of   my  final Project Scope.   The Scope Components document was completed a total of 5 times. Each time a different section was the focus. Below is a copy of my final Scope Components and Scope Project document.
