How much time do you spend reflecting on your instruction? Would you like to do more? Why not start 2019 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 a collaborative and social learning experience. Participants will share their own reflections and comment on the reflections of others. The workshop consists of two face-to-face sessions (January 8th and February 6th, 12:00-1:00 PM, Rm 292 Robertson Library) with the remainder of the workshop occurring online between those two sessions.
