教学界

每学期, the Sherrerd Center sponsors a variety of 教学界 in which faculty and teaching staff come together to discuss a teaching topic of shared interest. 在过去的几年里,这些被证明特别有用, and we encourage faculty and staff members to consider leading or participating in a Teaching Circle this semester. The Sherrerd Center arranges for 教学界 to meet on some specific Fridays from 12:15 until 1:15 p.我中午有午餐, 因此,请在提供的表格上回复(当张贴时), 因为这将有助于提供更准确的午餐和座位计数.

反思性实践教学圈

杰西卡·巴卡尔(导演. 《反思性实践》)和凯特·麦库恩(卡特·麦库恩主任).(斯皮内利中心)
Inviting students to "describe your process" can generate a chorus of groans, but reflective practices don't have to be arduous or soul-depleting. 在这个教学圈, we will facilitate a sharing of interesting alternatives and best practices for reflection across all divisions. 我们将讨论反思的目标, including learning transfer -- something which can be challenging for students but which is a core value of a liberal arts education. We will also look at evaluating and grading reflections: What makes a good one? 很棒的一个? 当反射没有达到目标时该怎么办? Participants in this circle will receive a copy of the new book Experiments in Reflection by Leticia Britos Cavagnaro, 斯坦福大学.2023年出版的学校指南.
