Reflective Practice Large Group Meetings and Workshops
All meetings run from 3:35—4:50 p.m. on Wednesdays or Thursdays.
Unless indicated in pre-meeting publicity, no RSVP is needed. A sign-up sheet is available at each meeting, and those who sign in will receive a follow-up e-mail.
All faculty members are invited to Reflective Practice Large Group meetings; you don't have to be a member of RP to attend. There will be no RP agreement forms to complete.
Because we're planning well in advance, some changes may be necessary over the course of the year. So please read e-mail updates as they are sent out.
