Session 3

AGENDA
Keeping your Teaching Alive... the Craft of Teaching

WRITE - 15 min write, 15 min reflect together

Open the google document created ahead of time on the blog.

Each facilitator at each site will type for the group in the google doc that is projected. If folks do have laptops and WiFi, lets get as many as possible into the shared google doc so to have a conversation.

Focus on:
- Reflections from what is working based on past discussions
- Reflection of successes or attempts that haven't worked and perhaps why you think the students didn't or could work better ..
- What did you learn or what are you learning
- How are we strengthening and maintaining our enthusiasm, love of Teaching?
- Share something you found in the reading that was enlightening to your teaching


Below are two short faculty reflections on relevant classroom experiences:
