Due to limited pedagogical training and a lack of institutional focus on teaching as an iterative skill, faculty often replicate the teaching they experienced as students—which may not be the most effective approach. Empowering students to learn, demonstrate agency in the classroom, and legislate their own learning experiences requires reflection and the intentional development of values around teaching and learning. Relationships of Reciprocity: In Pursuit of Shared Teaching and Learning, a new publication from Academic Impressions and authored by Monica B. Glina, offers faculty ways to understand their teaching practice and values, to reflect on how they can incorporate new strategies into in-person, hybrid, or asynchronous teaching, and to evolve that practice. 

Join us for a webinar that will walk you through an exercise to help you to reflect on the values that inform your teaching. Glina will help you to explore how your professional values manifest themselves in your interactions with your students or co-learners, in the learning experiences you create, and in the way you view assessment. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn more about the interactive nature of the book and how you can use it to plan your upcoming semester.
