19th Annual Teaching Life Retreat: Designing for Transformational Learning Begins - May 11 and May 12

Date and Time

Thursday, May 11, 2017

Description

Thursday, May 11 – Friday, May 12
Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, Hastings, MI

Do you plan to design or revise a course or assignment this summer? Are you interested in learning to better apply research-based teaching and learning principles? Do you have a few ideas - large or small - that would benefit from sustained focus and peer feedback? In this Teaching Life Retreat, you will focus on a course design, redesign or refresh project of your choosing. You will have the opportunity to interact informally with a group of colleagues, participate in small group discussions facilitated by the Pew FTLC staff, and also engage in solitary work. Participants will be provided with the text, Building a Pathway for Student Learning: A How-to Guide to Course Design, lodging in single rooms and four shared meals at a lovely retreat and nature center. The retreat is limited to 18 participants, with preference given to first-time attenders. We will gather at noon on Thursday, May 11 and conclude by 3pm on Friday, May 12. We ask that those who register stay for the entire retreat. To apply, please send an email to Christine Rener briefly describing the course/assignment project you have in mind. I am happy to answer any questions about the retreat that you might have.
