Abstract
This session will provide the opportunity to meet, engage, and connect with others on a topic of interest, the nature of learning. Using a World Café discussion format, the participants meet in small groups and engage in conversation in response to a guided series of questions which are later summarized for the whole group. As educators, we understand the power of reflection for our students, but seldom take time to reflect on our own practice. This discussion will be both reflective and engaging.
