Crafting Writing Prompts to Promote Integrative and Reflective Thinking
Fall 2019
More Details
Whether you are a seasoned MT Engage instructor or simply want to know more about how you can support your students’ integrative and reflective thinking, we hope you’ll join us for this session. We will identify some of the obstacles that can get in the way of students’ meaningful reflection, and we’ll discuss how assigning frequent informal writings can enhance your students’ relationship to course material. Participants will be provided with sample prompts informed by writing across the curriculum scholarship, as well as some developed by MT Engage faculty. Participants will also have the opportunity to share and get feedback on their own writing prompts.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
