*Cultivating learning cultures: Reflective habits of mind and the value of
uncertainty.
<https://uwaterloo.ca/centre-for-teaching-excellence/events/cultivating-learning-cultures-cte744>*

As we consider how we are preparing our students for careers that
increasingly depend upon resilience, teamwork, and the integration of
knowledge domains, how do we cultivate learning cultures that transcend the
constraints of curricular structures and that value uncertainty as a
crucial component of learning?



This presentation explores how we might design high impact learning
experiences to foster iterative reflection for deep understanding and
experiential thinking. The social construction of knowledge and
understanding is a critically important consideration as we explore the
power of learning communities and the choices students make when
experiencing new and unfamiliar situations.



This presentation builds on our Teaching and Learning Conference Theme, *
‘Making Teaching and Learning Visible,’* and continues our discussions
related to *High Impact Practices
