Discussion: Transforming Faculty


 

Transforming Faculty

This post will have two parts:

Initial Post: 

Part 1: Your Experiences: Review the reading regarding transformative learning and consider your own educational experiences. Describe a situation where you experienced transformative learning. Was this learning opportunity self-directed (meaning you came to it through your own research or experiences) or would you describe it as “faculty-led” (meaning transformative learning was achieved in an educational setting under the guidance of faculty) instead?

Part 2: Your Role as Faculty: Consider your role as a new faculty member. How can you facilitate transformative learning? Based on your reading and/or your experiences, select one transformative teaching strategy or action that you would like to incorporate into your teaching style. Discuss your rationale for selecting this strategy.
