Option 2: Join an in-person, interactive workshop and dive into the CLSLO resources created while also devising strategies for curricular integration. Refreshments served. Facilitators: Dan Poole, Emily Putnam, Gabe Byers, Lucy Smith, Rosio Suarez, Mikaela Mokofisi 

Needing better reflection prompts?

This workshop will feature hands-on training in developing more effective reflection prompts and activities to help students better integrate reflection in their learning. Participants will finish the workshop with new or updated reflection prompts or activities for their courses and will write their own reflection for their professional ePortfolio.
