December pedagogy picnic -- date change and lunch invitation

[Shannon Dea]

Dear colleagues,

Unfortunately, I need to postpone our next Pedagogy Picnic (originally
scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 4) to Wednesday, Dec. 10. I'll make up for it
by providing lunch. Please rsvp so that I know how much food to order, and
please do let me know if you have any special dietary needs.

Recall that Pedagogy Picnics are (usually) brown-bag lunches at which you
can share questions and tips about teaching and learning -- and get a
glimpse at some of your colleagues' teaching and learning approaches.


For the duration of this academic year, we'll have Pedagogy Picnics once or
twice a month on Thursdays, 12-1 in HH 335.


Our Dec. 10 Pedagogy Picnic focuses on what difference an instructor's
career stage makes to their pedagogy, and to what career-stage specific
support instructors should receive for their teaching and learning.


Here are the next few topics and dates (Note that the first February
Pedagogy Picnic will be held Feb. 5, not Feb. 6, as I mistakenly reported
in an earlier email.):

·         January 15: What do you need (from others) to succeed as an
instructor?

·         February 5: Authentic assessment

·         February 26: Teaching inclusively



Pedagogy Picnics are also scheduled for March 19 and April 16, topics to be
determined based on participants' interests. Let me know if there's a topic
you'd like to see added.


As ever, you may attend just one or two Pedagogy Picnics, or the whole
series. And, you should feel warmly encouraged to bring a colleague.


Again, if you plan to attend on the 10th, please let me know so that I can
provide lunch for you.


Hope to see you there!


All best,

Shannon Dea
