Description
Come to the retreat for reflection and dialogue around teaching. You will have the opportunity to interact informally with a small group of colleagues from a range of disciplines. Participants will choose their own retreat focus and be provided with one of the following three texts:
(1) Learner-Centered Teaching: Five Key Changes to Practice, 2nd Ed,
Maryellen Weimer, 2013
(2) Facilitating Seven Ways of Learning: A
Resource for More Purposeful, Effective, and Enjoyable College
Teaching, James Davis & Bridget Arend, 2013
(3) The Skillful
Teacher: On Technique, Trust, and Responsiveness in the Classroom, 3rd
Ed, Stephen Brookfield, 2015
These books effectively bridge learning theory and teaching practice, providing a wealth of ideas for discussion. Each participant will be sent a copy of their chosen text in advance of the retreat. Lodging in single rooms and four shared meals are provided. The retreat is limited to 16 participants with preference given to first-time attenders. We also ask that those who register stay for the entire retreat. For a more detailed retreat schedule, please visit the Teaching Retreat Page.
