How much time do you spend reflecting on your teaching? Would you like to do more? Why not start 2020 off with a commitment to become more reflective? In this workshop, participants will be provided with exercises to practice reflection daily over a 30 day period. This is both a collaborative and social learning experience. Each day, participants will share their own reflections and comment on the reflections of others. Facilitated by the E-Learning Office, the workshop consists of two face-to-face sessions (Opening session - January 10th and closing session - February 10th, 2:00-3:00 PM, Rm 103 Health Sciences Building) with the remainder of the workshop occurring online between those two sessions. Register early as space is limited for this event. REGISTER
