We are delighted to share with you the total raised to date for this new award honouring our friend Rocky is $3,832.45. Thank you to all who shared in this great day.

Reflection is the mediator between knowledge and experience and is a vital skill for instructional professionals in order to continuously improve their teaching. Does becoming a more reflective practitioner sound like a good New Year’s resolution? What if it could also help you achieve a professional or personal goal for 2018? If so, then this workshop will be a great way to ensure that that resolution becomes a habit.
Participants will be provided with exercises to practice reflection daily over a 30 day period while working towards the creation of at least one goal to achieve in 2018. This is a collaborative learning experience as
participants will share between them and comment on their daily reflections.
Offered by the E-Learning Office, this workshop consists of two face-to-face sessions (January 8 and February 7, 12:00-1:00 PM, Rm 265 Robertson Library) with the remainder of events, occurring between those sessions, online.
