Facilitator
Judith Yancey (Academic Literacy and Linguistics)

Description
Awareness of what is really happening in oneā€™s classroom can become the foundation for reflection, experimentation, and improved teaching and learning. We can increase our awareness through our own observations and evidence-gathering, and through peer observation. However, the observations we make about our own teaching practices and about our students pass through the filter of our habits, assumptions, and biases. Descriptive, non-evaluative feedback is a tool that empowers and informs. This interactive session will discuss what it means to describe rather than to judge, and the importance of non-evaluative feedback in reflective teaching. We will share tools and strategies that the individual teacher can apply to their own practice.

Part of Open Teaching Week.
