The 20th Annual Teaching Life Retreat: Restoring and Replenishing our Authentic Selves in the Classroom--TWO DAY EVENT (May 23 & May 24)
Date and Time
Wednesday, May 23, 2018
Description
Please join Pew FTLC for this unique retreat that will focus on nourishing and re-energizing our authentic selves—our selves that fill the various roles we take on in our life in academia. As we enter the classroom and begin to teach, how do we integrate our true selves with our pedagogical practices? How do we remain true to our authentic selves within our professional identities? Spending time away from campus in the beautiful nature retreat setting of the Kettunen Center in Tustin, MI, will offer an opportunity to take off the “expert hat” and rejuvenate passions, restore energy and replenish personhood via small group activities, large group dialogue and individual reflection. This retreat is grounded in the idea that in order to be our best at work, we need to navigate the tension between authentic self and professional self in meaningful ways.
The retreat will begin with lunch at noon on Wednesday, May 23 and conclude at 3pm on Thursday, May 24. Lodging in single rooms and four shared meals are provided. The retreat is limited to 15 faculty participants with preference given to first-time attenders. We ask that those who register stay for the entire retreat. To register, please find the event under the "Teaching and Learning" Category on Sprout. Registration deadline is May 1, 2018.
