Date

Location

Description

This workshop is designed for any instructor wanting to integrate reflection more effectively into their courses. Through a review of current reflection research, example prompts, response, and feedback walk-throughs, and guided drafting time, this workshop will provide a foundation for all who use or plan to use reflection at any stage of an assignment, course, or degree program.

After this workshop participants will be able to:

  • define “reflection” as a teaching practice and identify the benefits and challenges of including it in a course design
  • draft and evaluate reflection prompts that encourage metacognitive development, identity formation, and interdisciplinary thinking
  • describe scaffolding and feedback techniques that help students practice reflection more effectively
