*********************************
The Office of the Provost and the Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) invite you to participate in GTREET, a biennial event that brings faculty together to explore innovative ways to improve student learning.
This year's event will focus on the processes involved in becoming critically reflective about our teaching.
Our featured speaker this year is Dr. Stephen D. Brookfield. Dr. Brookfield is Distinguished Professor at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota. He has written widely on the topics of adult education, critical thinking, and teaching and has received numerous awards for his books, including the Cyril O. Houle World Award for Literature in Adult Education and the Imogene E. Okes Award for Outstanding Research in Adult Education.
Dr. Brookfield will lead GTREET participants in a discussion of how to reframe our teaching by becoming critically reflective about teaching and using critical reflection as a tool for ongoing personal and professional development, and ways to develop students as critical thinkers.
Bring your challenges and prepare to work with your colleagues on effective ways to address them.
