The Center for Teaching Excellence Reflective Practice Large Group Meeting, Transformative Texts, will be presented Wednesday, February 17, 2021 from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.
Major works of literature, philosophy, historical sources, and religious books, as well as theater, poetry, and song, inform and inspire. They encourage creative thinking, imaginative capacities, and problem solving. Students (and the faculty that teach them) learn to see the world from different perspectives, and thus world views are broadened.
This interactive workshop introduces participants to the ideas and approaches of transformative text teaching. It is an opportunity to consider how to incorporate such texts across all disciplines.
Participants, if so inclined, are welcomed to come with examples of their own, their favorites texts, ideas they would like to pursue, and/or challenges they have faced.
