About the session

This session will involve a short evidence-based presentation about the role of reflexivity in developing your teaching practice and how to support students in their learning through introducing a variety of reflexivity frameworks. We will then work in small groups to develop supportive relationships, share teaching strategies, troubleshoot challenges, unpack reflexive frameworks and explore resources.

Reflexivity in teaching and learning is the continuous process of paying attention to how we relate to and interact with our classroom contexts (both face-to-face and online), course content, colleagues and students. Reflexivity is critical engagement with our experiences both inside and outside the classroom, to effect positive change and growth in our teaching practice and to support our students’ life-long learning.

Whether you are new to teaching or more experienced, we welcome your participation as the first step to support you in your teaching and to help build a sustainable supportive community of practice in your faculty or school.
