Summaries

Summary Sentence: Stories of Teaching and Learning at Georgia Tech

Full Summary: This workshop will feature faculty stories of teaching, including experiences in service learning, problem based learning, mentoring, and flipping classes.  Participants will begin to craft their own teaching narratives.

"Stories live in our teaching beyond the moments in which they occur."

- Linda Shadiow

 In What our Stories Teach Us (2013), Linda Shadiow contends that we all have “critical incidents” in our lives that shape how we see ourselves as teachers, relate to our students, and approach teaching.  Through critical reflection of our own teaching stories we can begin to see how those incidents and their patterns have led us to where we are.  It is through this process that we can use these incidents to become more aware of the path we are on and deliberately lay the path to where we would like to be as teachers.

Join us for this luncheon workshop, in which several of our colleagues will share their own stories of teaching and learning at Georgia Tech, including their experiences with service learning, problem based learning, mentoring graduate students, and flipping classes. Participants will have the opportunity through guided reflection and discussion to begin to develop their own stories of teaching and learning.

 

Speakers:

Kelly Comfort, Associate Professor, Modern Languages

Laurie Anne Garrow, Associate Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering

Robert Kirkman Associate Professor, Public Policy
