Facilitators: Leva Lee, Advisor, Learning + Teaching, and Helena Prins, Advisor, Learning + Teaching, BCcampus

 

In this interactive two-hour workshop, Leva Lee and Helena Prins, advisors on the BCcampus Teaching and Learning team, will guide participants through the power and practice of reflection in action, a critical tool for deep learning, self-awareness, and growth in both personal and professional contexts. 

Participants will explore: 

• Why reflection matters – Understanding its role in learning, decision-making, and personal development. 
• Effective prompts – How to craft and use reflective prompts to foster deeper insights. 
• Ways to engage – How participants can respond to reflection prompts in different formats. 
• Creative reflection activities – Engaging, hands-on exercises designed to bring reflection to life. 

Through experiential learning, attendees will participate in various reflective exercises, gaining practical tools and strategies to integrate into their teaching, learning, and daily practices.
