I want to begin the newsletter this week with a version of what Stephen Brookfield (2019) has called an appreciative pause: Thank you to every single person who has stopped by my office to say hi or ask how I am doing as I have transitioned back to work from parental leave. You all have made this transition much easier, and I am so appreciative.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Brookfield, I often cite his Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher (2017) as one of the most influential books on my teaching. Brookfield identifies four lenses that we can use to gain new perspectives on our teaching: 1) our personal experience; 2) our students\u2019 eyes; 3) our colleagues\u2019 perspectives; and 4) educational theory and the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL). While you can pursue these different perspectives on your own, I also hope that attending Faculty Hub events and programming helps you gain access to all of these lenses. Read on<\/a> for some specific opportunities to get student perspectives on your teaching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I want to begin the newsletter this week with a version of what Stephen Brookfield (2019) has called an appreciative pause: Thank you to every single person who has stopped by my office to say hi or ask how I am doing as I have transitioned back to work from parental leave.
