Pedagogical Planning and Facilitation Workshops
Held each fall, the TLI offers four open pedagogy workshops for graduate and post-doc students at Bryn Mawr's Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research as well as Bryn Mawr's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences to systematically explore fundamental pedagogical issues and approaches, which include developing inclusive and equitable approaches to teaching and learning.
Workshops are open sessions of B676/SOWK 676 Making Space For Learning: Pedagogical Planning and Facilitation in Higher Education, a semester-long course cross-listed between the Graduate School of Social Work and the undergraduate colleges. Each pedagogy workshop is 2.5 hours.
