The perfect companion journal to your start your self-reflection journey

With this journal, Dr. Luz Casio offers her authentic voice in a way that centers her bilingual and bicultural knowledges, experience, and perspectives. At the same time, her reflection prompts provide opportunities for readers to center their own cultural knowledges and perspectives as valid counternarratives to what has dominated the field.

A regular practice of using a learning journal provides a window into your own inner wisdom, wonderings, and visual metaphors. Looking back through the pages, you begin to see who you are now and uncover who you want to be.

Although this journal was created as a companion to The Visionary Director, it can also be used as an independent learning tool. The reflection prompts can be used for course discussions and assignments, as well as in professional learning communities (PLC). 88 pages.

Con este diario, Dra. Luz Casio ofrece su voz auténtica de una manera que centra sus conocimientos, experiencias y perspectivas bilingües y biculturales.
