November is a time to make space for reflection and appreciation in one’s life—including reflections about teaching. It can be a challenge to choose reflection over other matters of priority during a busy end-of-term season, but a structured reflection now may be helpful before planning begins for the spring semester.
Guided reflection is an important but often overlooked component of continuous professional development and effective teaching. By engaging in a non-judgmental, reflective practice, instructors can enhance their effectiveness in the classroom and develop stronger relationships with their students.
Join in a 1-hour workshop to engage in a simple reflective teaching exercise called stop-start-continue. During this time, participants will consider and discuss the following questions as they relate to teaching pedagogy and practice:
- What do you want to stop (why)?
- What do you want to start (why)?
- What do you want to continue (why)?
Program Date & Time: Thursday, November 13, 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.
Location: Online via Zoom (The meeting link will be provided either with the email registration confirmation or by email the day before the event.)
Facilitator: Robyn Kondrad, CHBS
Genre: Roundtable
Program Outcomes
- Identifying areas of current pedagogy that deserve deeper reflection
