A flexible online platform that supports thinking, writing, and growth
CTLM invites instructors teaching in the current semester to join The Reflection Space to engage in reflective practice on teaching while building community with other instructors.
Regularly throughout the semester, you’ll receive writing prompts encouraging you to reflect on various aspects of your teaching and your students’ learning.
- Respond at your own pace – You decide how often to participate and how much time to spend
- Build connections and learn from others – If you choose, you may share your writing and read about others’ experiences
- Open to anyone in an instructional role at UW-Madison – Academic staff, faculty, and graduate students
By participating in the Reflection Space, you will
- Reflect on ways to improve your teaching and student learning by adjusting aspects of your course and your teaching
- Examine your personal beliefs, biases, habits, and assumptions, and how they influence your practices
- Connect with the motivations and values that underlie your identity as an educator
- Recognize sociocultural and contextual factors and barriers that support or inhibit learning in your own context
- Build community with other educators engaged in critical reflection on teaching and learning
Reflection prompts begin Sept. 2
