Self Studies in Higher Learning

SELF-STUDIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION

A Series of Brown-Bag Conversations on Teaching & Learning

The Department of Adult Education is initiating the first of what we hope will become an annual, themed series of study groups aimed at broadening and deepening our reflective practices and collegial relations as teachers, educators, and administrators in higher education. This year, the series is focused on our teaching and learning practices.

2018-2019 INVESTIGATING OUR PRACTICES

Over the next two semesters during the 2018-2019 term we will be facilitating several high-interest, high-impact brown bag sessions (11 am – 1 pm) on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

Session | Date | Topic | Facilitator
1 | September 26 | Integrated Learning Design | Seonaigh MacPherson
2 | October 24 | Teaching Problem Solving | Chris Campbell
3 | November 28 | “21St Century Learning” | Amea Wilbur
4 | January 23 | Assessment | Chris Campbell
5 | February 27 | Trauma-Informed Practice | Amea Wilbur
6 | March 27 | Mindfulness-based Learning | Seonaigh MacPherson

We invite interested parties in the Faculty of Professional Studies, in other faculties, and in the wider UFV community to join this multi-disciplinary, multi-perspective exchange of ideas. Each session will include a reading to inform our discussions, including possible books that could be provided. The sessions will be designed to foster open, faculty-initiated exploration and exchanges across disciplines.

Time: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Place: C1429 (Nov. 28th – A203B)
