Upcomig CWRR Faculty Workshop

"Teaching Reflection"

In her closing remarks to faculty in May 2006, VPAA Dr. Jamie Comstock promised to take the summer to reflect on her experiences during her first year at Millikin so that she might come back to engage and energize us in our plans for Millikin’s future.  Here at Millikin, we have highly qualified faculty, dedicated to our University-wide teaching goals, two of which are the integration of theory and practice and student reflection. One of the many University Studies curriculum revisions proposed and approved this Fall 2007 by COC places student reflection as a centralizing goal for the sequential elements.  What’s all this buzz about reflection?  What is reflection?  How do we practice reflection in our own teaching? And, more importantly, how do we teach our students how to use reflection in order to enrich their learning experiences at Millikin and transform their lives?  Come participate in a lively discussion of the theoretical and practical facets of reflection for both teaching and learning.
