Before you begin design consultations with your instructional designer, consider your own motivations and goals as an educator at this point in your career.

Meeting with an instructional designer is an opportunity for intentional engagement with your own growth. If time allows, you can track your personal reflections in the Roots and Growth Jamboard to share with your instructional designer. You can review frameworks in this module to consider what matters to you and your goal-setting.

Next, consider these reflection questions for anti-racist course design from Andratesha Fritzgerald:

If time allows, you can record your reflections on the Anti-racist Course Design Worksheet (make a copy and save for your own use).

Finally, based on the frameworks and strategies covered in this module, name the top three things you’d like to focus on in instructional design consultations ahead. Share these goals with your instructional designer to help them make the most of your time together.
