You must log in to view sessions Reflective Teaching Practice Synchronous-Zoom Workshop (40 mins)

Reflective practice can be valuable for improving our work and can take on many forms. While reflection-in-action may be a bit taxing, reflection-on-action might be more cathartic, especially if it involves a little play. That’s where figures of speech come in. These stylistic ways of using language involve creative expression and meaning-making that can be fun to reflect on practice! Thus, after briefly reviewing figures of speech and defining a select few, participants in this interactive workshop will whip up their own batch of examples related to their teaching, learning, and/or research to share and contemplate together. It is hoped that this exchange will also lead to reflection-for-action.
